Easter In Barcelona - Colourful street parades
While the Yuletide period is a time for family gatherings and social events in the home, Easter in Barcelona sees the community take to the streets in force for parades and celebrations right across the city. There is no one major event at this time but numerous smaller spectacles which are equally as thrilling to watch and participate in. Enjoy the sounds of Catalan dance and music, brightly coloured traditional costume and various events that include the sampling of delicious snacks such as Mona - a dry torta cake and of course plentiful Easter eggs.
Easter In Barcelona - Spectacular religious sites to explore
At this time of reflection, many visitors to Barcelona at Easter choose to acquaint themselves with the stunning religious structures that dominate the Barcelona skyline. Without doubt the most iconic of these has to be the Sagrada Familia, Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece and perhaps the most famous church of its kind in the world. The intricate external carvings of biblical scenes meld together to form a surreal canvas that has to be seen to be believed. The gothic Barcelona cathedral and attached Romanesque chapel offers visitors a glimpse of priceless religious paintings and sculptures and a series of Easter concerts and events to enjoy.

A visit is guaranteed to enthral the little ones and offers a temptingly delicious afternoon for adults too. What better day to finish the day than a trip to Barcelona zoo for one of their traditional Family Fun days at Easter.
