About this event
Barcelona's oldest festival, running since 1589, packs five days of Catalan popular culture into the squares behind the cathedral. Expect an artisans' fair along Avinguda de la Catedral, a gathering and dance of the neighbourhood giants, the Sant Roc procession, traditional street games and a correfoc led by the Gothic Quarter's own devils. It is small, unhurried and completely unstaged for tourists.
