Barcelona
Barcelona offers an ideal setting for those who want to experience Easter amid rich Catalan traditions and cultural festivities.

Traditional delicacies such as mona de Pascua (Easter cakes) and cordero (lamb) add a delicious touch to the celebrations.

Beyond Easter festivities, Barcelona offers another significant cultural event in April—the Sant Jordi holiday on April 23. On this day, a beloved tradition unfolds where men gift roses to women, while women give books in return. The streets are filled with stalls selling books and flowers, creating a romantic and festive ambiance. This magical day also highlights the legend of Saint George, beautifully represented in Gaudí’s architectural masterpiece, Casa Batlló.
