The annual summer 'festa major' in Gràcia's is one of the biggest street parties in Barcelona, with numerous live bands playing on different squares and streets and masses of people making merry. Held every August since the 1820s, the festival seems to get bigger and better each year. Different streets compete with each other to design the most outrageous decoration and the results can range from tropical islands to satirical takes on popular events. Food and drink, as well as music, are abundantly available on each street and on the last night of the festival fireworks are set off.
If you would like to head over to the festival this year, then check out these European travel packages. With the economy the way it is, there has never been a better time to travel to Europe.
