Plaça de Sant Jaume fills for the Mercè Castellera Day, a peak moment for Barcelona's 'colles'. The sound of 'gralles' and drums accompanies the Catalan capital's 'castellers' at their finest. The day begins with a 'cercavila' from Plaça Reial to Sant Jaume. Arriving before the City Hall, after the 'Gegants' and 'Àliga' dances, the actual 'diada' begins. Eight city 'colles' will showcase their skill with 'castells', 'torres', and 'pilars' on this emblematic stage. A display of tradition and emotion in the heart of Barcelona.
The Planns tip
Arrive early at Plaça Reial to catch the start of the 'cercavila' before it reaches Sant Jaume.
