Events in June
L’ou com balla – Thursday before Pentecost
The dancing eggs of Barcelona! There are unusual scenes to be seen in Barcelona on Corpus Christi. In the Gothic Quarter you will discover eggs in some fountains. These dance on the water and miraculously don’t fall down! This spectacle is called in Catalan: L’ou com balla. The tradition has existed since 1637 and the fountains are richly decorated with flowers. Back then, real eggs were used, but today they are made of polystyrene or something similar.
When: On Corpus Christi and up to 3 days after
Where: Gothic Quarter around La Seu Cathedral and its cloister, courtyard, Marès Museum, Lieutenant’s Palace (Palau de Lloctinent), Casa de l’Ardiaca, Pedalbres Monastery.
Sant Joan – La revetlla
A festival is dedicated to Saint Juan (Saint John). During this night, one burns contaminated sites and cleanses oneself of illnesses by jumping into the water. At the same time, it is the celebration of the beginning of summer. For this reason, large fires made of old furniture etc. are lit in various places in Barcelona. Children and adults play with firecrackers and fireworks and there is a big party on the beach with music, drinks and water jumps at midnight.
When: June 23, public holiday on June 24
Where: Main celebrations from Barceloneta beach up to Bogatell.
DO NOT MISS!
PREVIEW OCTOBER!
Exhibition in two museums
Picasso Museum & Foundation Miró
Miró – Picasso
October 19, 2023 to February 25, 2024
On the 50th anniversary of the death of Picasso and the 40th anniversary of the death of Miró.
The exhibition is about their friendship, which is also noticeable in some similar works, and their relationship to Barcelona. After all, both have their museum here.
Tickets will follow and will then entitle you to enter both museums.
