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

Mercat de Mercats
Every October, a little market shows up on Barcelona’s Placa La Seu: The Market of Markets. It gives smaller local stores, restaurants, and artisans a chance to shine, and you get the chance to try some fresh local delicacies! Chocolate, oysters, meats and sausages, perhaps a glass of Cava or wine – that’s an appetizer right there! Or you can go all the way and eat an entire lunch or dinner here.
When: 20 – 22 October 2023
Where: Plaça de les Glòries

Winter Swimming
Winter swimming takes place in the harbor basin on December 26th. Why on Earth hundreds of (mostly young) people take a dive into the cold water is, quite frankly, beyond me. I haven’t seen it for myself yet either – after all, I’m usually with my Family in Germany during that time.
New Year’s Eve
Should you be coming to Barcelona for New Year’s Eve expecting a grand party in the streets, prepare to be disappointed. The Spanish usually celebrate the new year in the comfort of their homes with their families. Obviously, there are parties here and there, but large firework displays, as they’re known in New York City or London, are not common in Spain. In Catalonia, fireworks are only allowed during the summer – the Night of Fires or Saint John’s night, to be precise. Should you be looking for fireworks anyway, be sure to show up at the Placa d’Espanya nice and early – the city has hosted a public fireworks display there for the past couple of years.
Instead, the Spanish have a different New Year’s tradition: Eat a grape at every strike of the clock at midnight. If you make it, you’ll supposedly be lucky next year. On the other hand, this tradition prevents you from loudly celebrating or kissing when the clock strikes midnight… After all, you’ll be busy chewing! Oh, and make sure to get seedless grapes – for obvious reasons 😀
