twelfth December 2012
Even though many people book cheap plane tickets to Barcelona for that summer time, others would rather go throughout the Easter time period – which lasts almost three several weeks within the Catalan city.
Practically whenever from early Feb towards the finish of April is a great time for you to book a rest in Barcelona, based on whether things have to be riotous and colourful, or pensive and peaceful.
Given may be the 46 times of fasting and penance running from Ash Wednesday to Easter time. Naturally, you might not expect many festivities to become happening throughout this time around, even just in Barcelona, however the circus that precedes that is certainly worth opting for. Occasions start with Jueves Ladero, or Dijous Gras (literally ‘Greasy Thursday’), the same as Shrove Tuesday - each day of feasting and merriment throughout that the Circus King makes his appearance, transporting all of the sins of the year before.
The festival guilds then continue the festivities over the past weekend, using the highlight to be the Gran Rue procession. It was cancelled this year but continues to be pencilled in to the 2013 calendar. Even when it doesn't proceed, you will find numerous other more compact parades happening, both interior and exterior town.
Ash Wednesday, the very first day of Given, signifies another parade, this time around by means of the King’s funeral when colourful clothing is exchanged for mourning robes and also the circus food marketplaces close their wooden shutters. Bellies rumbling, the town hastens toward Good Friday, and the beginning of Semana Santa: Holy Week.
Jet2.com has cheap plane tickets to Barcelona for Sant Jordi, or St George’s Day, on April 23. The Catalan same as St Love Day, it is ideal for an intimate springbreak.
