Barcelona Parade 17th January

Cabalgata dels Tres Tombs 17th January, Barcelona

 

As if the Festive season isn´t long enough here in Spain, Barcelona continue the partying until the 17th of January with a street parade in honour of San Antonio, the patron saint of animals. The Cabalgata dels Tres Tombs is a huge parade of animals made up of pets and their owners, but not only cats and dogs, oh no, you can see a whole farm of animals being paraded around the streets, and then being blessed.

 

But as with all Spanish fiestas, it doesn´t stop there, the visitor can enjoy a whole array of Catalan traditions including fireworks, live music, traditional and regional foods.
