La Rambla La Rambla 1, Barcelona

La Mercè is coming around again, and as usual the weekend of festivities is being kicked off with the inaugural parade.
Starting at La Rambla, the parade will run through Plaça de Sant Jaume and the heart of Barcelona. Throughout the parade there will be dancing with a group of 40 musicians who only play at the opening to La Mercè.
Alongside the festivities, the parade will also feature classic Catalan gegants (giants) and capgrossos (bigheads).
