About this event
Barcelona's oldest neighbourhood festival, first held in 1589, takes over Plaça Nova in the shadow of the cathedral with cercaviles, sardanes, a devils' run, concerts and family workshops. It is small, stubbornly traditional and happens in the middle of the most-visited square kilometre in the city.
Why we picked it
The city's oldest festa major, free, and walkable from wherever a visitor is already standing.
