Yes, you love them the festivities of Gràcia but you tell him that, those who really know, know that those of Sants are better. We congratulate you for your knowledge, but we are sorry to reveal that in Barcelona there are dozens of major festivals more, in which each neighborhood, far from the spotlight of the most multitudinous festivities, organizes its own particular celebration.
There are more than thirty. From Guinardó to Bon Pastor, passing through the festivals of Dreta de l’Eixample and Fort Pienc. If the grace of Barcelona is the particularity of its neighborhoods, the major festivals of each of them are its greatest expression. Therefore, we bring you the calendar of each of the major festivals organized by dates and neighborhoods, so that you organize the year and do not miss a single one.
