Popular traditions


Catalonia has managed to maintain many customs and traditions over the years, which are very common in everyday life.

The most important from a tourist point of view are:

Sardanes: Traditional Catalan dance. People meet in front of the Cathedral and the Plaįa Sant Jaume on saturdays and sundays to dance together.

Castellers: The "castells" are impressive human towers of up to 9 "floors". They originated in the Tarragona region, although they can be seen in popular festivals in Barcelona, especially during the "Mercč".
