The Giants' farewell ritual.

CULTUREDANCE
  • Plaça de Sant Jaume

The festive farewell of the Gegants de la Ciutat arrives at Plaça de Sant Jaume with the 'Toc a plegar' initiative. At 8:30 PM, the procession departs the square to accompany the Giants on their final route to Palau de la Virreina. Along the way, the Perdigots, the giants' musicians, will perform the Contradansa dels Gegants de la Ciutat. A symbolic closing to the festivities, inviting reflection on the return to normalcy. The event, winding through emblematic Gothic Quarter streets like Llibreteria, Veguer, and Plaça del Rei, concludes with a final dance. An urban ritual marking the end of a celebration.

The Planns tip

The procession starts at Plaça de Sant Jaume and goes through narrow Gothic streets; arrive early to secure a good spot in the square for the final dance.
