Correfoc in Grácia
A famous and loved part of the Festa Major de Grácia is the "correfoc", a fire run of the "diables" accompanied by drummers. Young and older people wearing devil costumes are dancing through the streets with fireworks and light fountains. On Thursday (21st August), Grácia's fire run will start at Plaza Rius i Taulet at 8:30 pm. From there all the small and bigger "diables" will dance to all the surrounding places in Grácia and fire-breathing dragons will lighten the sky. Spending Barcelona holidays, a visit to Gracia during this week is a must. You can still feel the spirit of this breath-taking summer event in every corner.
Just take the metro from your Barcelona accommodation or walk along the famous Passeig de Gracia with many luxury Barcelona hotels up to Diagonal where you can already see a little fun fair. Five more minutes of walking and you are right in the heart of Gracia.
And on Thursday night the fireworks and bangers will lead you directly to the correfoc!
