Barcelona: La Merce Festival

BARCELLONA - FESTIVAL LA MERCE

Maybe it’s a bit ‘too early to talk about it, but why not look ahead and think to wait for one of the more propitious moments to visit Barcelona? In September, in fact, the summer heat is no more stifling and strolling down the streets of the Catalan city is extremely pleasant. But above all, in this month takes place one of the main parties of Catalonia and of the entire Iberian region: La Merce Festival. This event, whose first version dates back to 1902, is held in honor of Mare de Deu de la Merce, the patron saint of the city, and lasts five days of September, although the exact date is still to be decided. Numerous and interesting the events that you can watch: one of these are the fireworks that are shot by people dressed as devils who parade in a sort of procession. An impressive sight you should watch wearing dark glasses and protective not synthetic clothes against sparks. Another show not to be missed are the famous Human Towers, a test of strength and acrobatic skills. Finally, do not miss the Parade of the Giants, a procession of huge statues depicting kings, queens and noblemen. September in Barcelona during the La Merce Festival is priceless!
