The Festes Majors of the neighborhoods of Barcelona are one of the festivities that the locals like the most. Far from the tourist and overcrowded city that is increasingly Barcelona, these festivities allow us to enjoy our neighborhoods in a popular way, meet our neighbors and, in short, as we Catalans say: fer barri.
La Rambla, despite being the tourist epicenter of the city and being constantly under construction, also has its own festival. It is celebrated from October 5 to 13 and, during these days, the area is filled with popular traditions, open doors, free theater, exhibitions and competitions.
We leave you with the most outstanding activities so that you can enjoy La Festa del Roser, the Festa Major de La Rambla, to the fullest.
