On September 24 or thereabouts, Barcelona once again celebrates its Patron Saint Festival. Like a last explosion before autumn, La Mercè is a Festival of festivals, which concentrates in a few days hundreds of activities such as the following:
- Barcelona Musical Action: to discover new sound proposals.
- Barcelona Street Arts: with artists who perform within reach of the audience.
- The Festival of Tradition: human towers, capgrossos (dwarves with big heads), giants and an entire menagerie of festive animals, accompanied by guests from Mediterranean countries.
- The Festival in the Sky: acrobatic gathering including jets, balloons and gliders.
- The Festival of Fire: all types of sparks, from the pyrotechnical music show to the correfoc (literally a fire-run).
The etcetera is long, and tends to include over 500 activities which gives something to appeal to everyone. La Mercè is the festival of a thousand faces.
Which one will you experience this year?
