BARCELONA: LA MERCÈ

As I've already mentioned, I had been in Barcelona during the festival La Mercè, which meant that the city was crowded with millions of people celebrating and enjoying all the great parties that took place during that weekend. When my friend told me that there would be a public holiday in Barcelona on Monday, I wasn't amused at all at first because public holidays always mean that all shops, museums, sightseeing attractions, etc. are closed. What I didn't know back then was that La Mercè would be so much cooler than doing sightseeing stuff! :) There were parades, human towers, free concerts (The Kooks!), parties everywhere, a light show at La Sagrada Família, children activities, and so much more. What I liked most was the light show - such a stunning and touching moment! But you'll see yourself in the pictures :)
