Best "Barcelona Barrio" Festival in August

La Festa Major de Gràcia
is Barcelona's biggest neighbourhood festival running between 15-21 of August. The charming Gracia neighbourhood is taken over by fire-runners (Correfoc), paraders, revellers, strange papier-maché creatures,tourists and general spectators. The fiesta is a great opportunity to experience the rowdier, fun-loving side to Barcelona and Catalan culture!
