Festival Weekend in Catalonia

The first weekend in June is a very popular time of year throughout Spain for festivals and fairs of all sorts. Within a short radius of Barcelona this weekend you can find some truly worthwhile spectacles, and we'd like to highlight two of them:

The Medieval Fair in La Seu D'Urgell: What better setting for a medieval fair than a medieval city? Experience life as it was 1000 years ago, with local products, displays of the same handcrafted systems that were used in the middle ages, as well as street performances and live music. It promises to be a unique and unforgettable experience.

The Drummer boy Festival (Festa del Timbaler) in Bruc, at the foot of Montserrat Mountain. The real life history of the drummer boy who on June 6, 1808 scared off the invading French army has become one of the most popular legends of all of Catalonia (they even made a film about it last year).  This weekend the town of Bruc celebrates the 203 anniversary of the event throughout the whole town. A fantastic way to enhance your visit to Montserrat!
