Photos of the Fiesta Mayor del Barrio de Gracia (street festival), Barcelona 15-23 / 08 / 2009Events include parades (correfocs), concerts, human castles (castellers) ... etc ...
Some streets are decorated by the locals using recycled material like empty bottles and tins. Their creativity and imagination are amazing, and each street has a different theme.
"Fire run" parades called "correfocs" in catalan : a loud and smoky time for all !!
Loads of fireworks are lit up at once at the end of the correfocs parade (Pl. Vila de Gracia)
