La Mercè Festival starts!


La Mercè (our Lady of Mercy) is the main patron saint of Barcelona, and we celebrate her day on September 24th. That is, tomorrow is a bank holyday!

And the city will be celebrating the whole week.
There will be night concerts every corner in the squares of the Gothic Quarter, Castellers (human towers) tomorrow at 12.30 at Plaça Sant Jaume, Correfoc (fire run) on the 26th starting at 20.30 in front of the Cathedral and continuing towards the Old Port, the Piromusical (music and fireworks show) on the 27th at 22h in Plaça Espanya, and much more.

The City Council has an English website on the festival, but it's not too complete...
To check out the full program you'll have to use the Spanish or Catalan versions and trust your language skills or get help from some online translator...
