Carnival in Barcelona
to
Barcelona City Centre 08001 Barcelona

‘If Carnival was 15 times a year and Christmas came every month. Oh, that every day was Easter and Lent never came’, as the Catalan saying goes. In other words, Carnival is one of the most anticipated celebrations of the year.
Starting with the arrival of Rei Carnestoltes on February 8th, Carnival in Barcelona is the city’s ultimate week-long festival, featuring frivolous fun in the form of parades, masked dances, parties and food (such as the famous botifarra d'ou, or egg sausage) that honour the Carnival king's reign of revelry.
