L'Ou Com Balla
Barcelona City Centre 08001 Barcelona

While on Easter Sunday, eggs are often hidden, on the Feast of Corpus Christi, they are put on display. Every year, 60 days after Easter Sunday, plain white eggs are placed over the water jets of fountains in courtyards and cloisters around Barcelona’s city centre. The eggs start to turn in the water without falling, and appear to dance. Some think the eggs represent the body of Christ, while others believe their constant motion in the fountain represents the cyclical nature of life. Although the exact origins of L’Ou Com Balla are unknown, the tradition began sometime before the 17th century in the cloister of the Barcelona Cathedral, where the largest celebration still takes place today. This year, dancing eggs can be seen at sites such as Palau Requesens, the Church of Santa Anna and the gardens of the Museu Frederic Marès. All of the fountains will also be adorned with flowers, fruits and other decorations.
