Vila de Gràcia

One of the things that characterize this neighborhood (old town) is its Festa Major (patron's festival).

Its history dates back to the 19th century, when, during the patron saint's festivities, the Virgin of Gràcia was carried throughout the town.

The citizens, to make the festival a little more fun, began to decorate the streets where the virgin passed.

Currently, the streets continue to be decorated, being both a local and tourist attraction.
