Festes de la Mercè
-
Barcelona’s main festival is a riotous week-long celebration in honour of La Mercè (Top 10 Catalan Saints & Virgins). The night sky lights up with fireworks, outdoor concerts are held, and there’s barely a bottle of cava left in the city by the festival’s end. Processions and parades feature gegants (giant wooden figures operated by people).
