I want to present to you the MERCE Festival in Barcelona.

Every year, towards the end of september, Barcelona organizes its biggest street party, the MERCE Festival.

The festival lasts for five days in honor of the Virgin MERCE, the patron Saint of Barcelona.

Il took place the first time in nineteen hundred on two years.

It’s a way to say good bye to the summer and to start the autumn.

Hundreds of activities and show take place in the city: musique, dances, parades, drama show, concerts, expositions, wine tasting, restoration, fireworks…It’s free.

There are also dragons who spit fire.

There is the Correfoc of children, the little devils, and that of the adults.

They represent different neighborhoods of the city.

It’s an impressive show, very noisy and that can be dangerous because there are projections,sparks.

The festival ends with a magnificent and long fireworks.
