Nine days of decorated streets, communal dinners, and a packed programme in Sants. Streets are competitively decorated by neighbours, communal paellas are on the programme, castellers form human towers, and correfocs send sparks down the lanes. Gracia's smaller, scrappier sister.

If Festa Major de Gracia feels too packed, Sants is the move. Same decorated streets, same communal paellas, a more local feel.
