Experience festa major de gracia

Gràcia is an area of up-town Barcelona that is famed for its laid-back bohemian atmosphere, bustling squares and vibrant bar and café life.

Each year in August the streets of Barcelona's Gràcia district come alive with a week-long fiesta that sees the barrio transformed.

The residents of the neighborhood maintain a sort of custom to decorate their streets to their fullest and tend to compete with each other for a best decorated street. The streets are decorated over a theme and usually through the recycled materials while the streets get loaded with all the decoration and get narrower like cave but give a magnificently amazing view at the same time.
