Did you know..?
The festival La Mercè, which is held in honour of the patron saint la Mercè (the Virgin of Mercy) on September 24 each year is the "Fiesta Mayor" - the main festival of Barcelona.
In Catalan culture, the Giants, known as “Gigantes” or “Gegants,” symbolize the essence of community, tradition, and celebration. These towering figures, often paraded through streets during festivals, represent historical and mythical characters, embodying the pride and identity of Catalonia.
Also, The Catholic Monarchs were Queen Isabella I of Castile (r. 1474–1504)[1] and King Ferdinand II of Aragon (r. 1479–1516), whose marriage and joint rule marked the de facto unification of Spain. They were both from the House of Trastámara and were second cousins, being both descended from John I of Castile; to remove the obstacle that this consanguinity would otherwise have posed to their marriage under canon law, they were given a papal dispensation by Sixtus IV. They married on October 19, 1469, in the city of Valladolid; Isabella was 18 years old and Ferdinand a year younger. Most scholars generally accept that the unification of Spain can essentially be traced back to the marriage of Ferdinand and Isabella.
In addition to this, the sardana is a Catalan musical genre typical of Catalan culture and danced in circle following a set of steps. The dance was originally from the Empordà region, but started gaining popularity throughout Catalonia from the late 19th century to beginning of the 20th century[4] after the modernisation done by Josep Maria Ventura i Casas.Men and women join together in a circle by holding hands and facing inwards to dance.
