Semana Santa runs in the last week of March. On Palm Sunday Padrinos, (Godparents) give decorated and/or woven collections of ornate Palm leaves to their Godchildren, only to be followed by the giving of Monas elaborate chocolate creations involvng Easter Eggs or the latest fad from the Simpsons to Harry Potter. The processions of Semana Santa can be seen in the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona, hundreds of people carrying Jesus and His Mother to the Cathedral, amid the sound of drums and trumpets. It's a spectacle to be enjoyed all over Catalunya though not on the scale that it's done in the south of Spain.

Featuring on the 14th July 'Piromusical' - a night of music and fireworks on the beach, earlier in the day visit the handicraft market known as the Mostra D'Art. On the 16th July are land and sea processions to bless Mare Deu de Carme, followed by sardanas dancing and a street ball.
