Other events in August
Fiesta Major de Gracia
Now this is where the citizens of Gracia get to go wild. Various streets participate in a decoration competition – and, of course, everyone wants to be the biggest, the most colorful, and the most creative. So you might start in a street with an Alice in Wonderland theme, and end up in a neighboring one, reminding you much more of the little Gallic village from the Astérix comic books. Beware, though: Some streets might go for zombies or a Jurassic Park motif, if the past years are any indication. We’ll have to see what they come up with this year.
When: the exact date is to be determined
A Month of Vacation for Barcelonians
August is a special month… because it feels like all the Barcelonians have left the city! Small and large companies and stores, restaurants and bars – many of them will close for company-wide holidays. But don’t worry: The stores in the city center, the sights, larger chains, and many restaurants will remain open nonetheless.

Other events
La Diada – Day of the Independence Movement
The day that Catalonia lost its independence back in 1714 is also the day Catalonians take to the streets to demonstrate for independence once more. Everyone gets out their flags, decorates the balconies, wears political t-shirts, and meets all over the city. Two years ago, more than 1.8 million Catalonians came together for the tercentenary Event. They created two large flags on the streets “Diagonal” and “Gran Via de Corts Catalan”, resulting in a hyper-enlarged victory sign. Amazing photographs, taken from the sky, spread all over Europe.
When: September 11th
Where: All over Barcelona. A specific place is usually designated as the main event, but regardless of that designation, the Arc de Triomf and the Placa Sant Jaume will always have something to offer.
La Mercé – Fiesta Major of Barcelona
Local saint Mercé is honored every year with a seven-day feast. The program ranges from dances and music to acrobatics, the Castelleres (human towers), the Gigantes (giant papier-mâché figures), and the Corre foc (the fire run – be careful with this one). Once the program is published, I will post a link right here.
When: Around September 24th, lasts 7 days
Where: All around the city, but mainly in the historic city center
