Hey Guys! Summer has not yet finished in Barcelona!!
The most important event is coming from 18th of September until 24th September. Save the dates for La Mercé Festival 2015!
La Mercè is Barcelona’s local festival or festa major, the festival for everyone. At the heart of La Mercè are the artists and popular culture, the giants from our city’s neighbourhoods, the musicians and the people who listen and dance to the beat of their music. La Mercè’s spirit is embodied in the city’s boys and girls who learn our community’s traditions during the festivities and who make them their own, in the adolescents who go out alone for the first time during the festivities, the young adults who make the city’s summer nights their own, the mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers who marvel at the festive activities as if they were once again young children.
The La Mercè is, what’s more, a perfect excuse for discovering neighbourhoods outside your beaten track, for taking a stroll along places you don’t normally see. And don’t forget: public transport will be the fastest way to get to places over the coming days!
This are the spaces where it will take place different activities and performances: Antiga Fàbrica Estrella Dam, Ajuntament de Barcelona, El Parc del Fòrum, Plaça Catalunya, Parc de la Ciutadella, Avinguda Reina Maria Cristina, Avinguda de la Catedral, Plaça dels Àngels, Plaça de la Mercè, Plaça de Sant Jaume, Castell de Montjuïc, Palauet Albéniz, Plaça Joan Coromines, Moll de la Fusta, Platja de la Barceloneta and Palau de la Virreina.
