From 15 August to 21 August, Barcelona´s Bohemian district Gracia will celebrate its "Festa Major" (Spanish: Fiesta Mayor), one of the most colorful Barcelona festivals during the summer. The best of Gracia can be enjoyed during the "Festa Major de Gracia". To get the distinctive feel of this district, holiday makers might opt for a
Barcelona accommodation in its vicinity. This Spanish and Catalan "Fiesta" is very well known by inhabitants of the city. And also many tourists flock to Barcelona to celebrate the Fiesta Mayor in Gracia.
For the full Gracia experience,
Barcelona apartments in the district should be booked very well in advance to attend the event.
After months of planning, visitors can enjoy parades, concerts, theater performances, live music and more. Streets and squares will be colorfully decorated and something that shouldn´t be missed is the performance of the Castellers, a group of people forming up human towers (see photo). And there will be even more of Catalan folklore to discover at the
Fiesta Mayor in Gracia. Spending
holidays in Barcelona during this amazing event will be unforgettable.
In
Plaza Rius i Taulet the event will have its inauguration with a parade of giant carnival figures and with performances of the Castellers.
Gracia is welcoming you with this charming festival soon!
