Trobada de Gegants de Sant Jaume
to
Plaça de la Merce Plaça de la Merce, Barcelona
There is only one day a year that we get to admire the giants of Sant Jaume up close in all their glory. A group of giants representing the Ciutat Vella, including Raval, Barceloneta, and Pi communities, come together for their annual reunion in Plaça de la Mercè. The procession moves toward Plaça Sant Jaume in honour of its host, and circles around the Gothic neighbourhood. Festivities wrap up back where they started, with plenty of chances to glimpse a big friendly giant parading through the city streets. Before heading into hibernation once again, the giants show off their party spirit with a traditional song and dance.
