Festive September in Catalonia. And famous live pyramids in Spain

In September, Catalonia plunged into a series of holidays. On the joy of Catalans and tourists.

In the first month of autumn, Catalonia celebrates several holidays at once. So, in the velvet season, tourists do not have to miss here. By the way, travel companies celebrate a surge of interest precisely by September Spain.

Well, first, it is worth mentioning the day of Catalonia, which falls on September 11. On this day, the Spaniards manage to perfectly combine various kinds of political shares, processions, demonstrations, rallies where they express their opinions about the reforms needed in Catalonia, with unrestrained fun, carnival, salute and other purely festive events. Policy policy, fun fun, one thing is not a hindrance.
Secondly, in September and Barcelona celebrates city day. That's why coincidence, and Moscow too! The day of Barcelona is timed on the Spanish tradition to the day of the patroness of the capital of Catalonia Saint Merc. Officially celebrations pass from September 21 to September 24, But in fact, the celebration can reach much longer. Spaniards often cannot meet in their fun in some official framework, all the time they try to start a holiday in advance and finish it later. So, since September 16, the spirit of the holiday is hung throughout the city.
The weather usually at this time is still very comfortable, even the sea has not yet cooled, there is no exhausting heat, they begin to be covered with autumn "gold" trees. It's time for visiting Barcelona, \u200b\u200bespecially when the holiday is around.
But those who want to see something exclusive and unusual, remember in September about Tarragona. There at this time you can see the spectacle to which the status of the UNESCO cultural heritage object is assigned. We are talking about "Casteles", namely, the famous living pyramids of Spain. Now we want to talk about this this time.
Tarragona generally deserves attention. And the Russians are well known to the Russians. Almost everyone who comes to rest on the Costa Dorada, find a day to visit Tarragona. The town is located approximately 100 km south of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bso that even if the main task of the trip is to inspect the capital of Catalonia, then a small deviation from the route is only 100 km away - an easy maneuver.

Tarragona is a wonderful city, there are many archaeological monuments of the Epoch of the Roman Empire. Already on the way from Barcelona, \u200b\u200byou can see the aqueduct built by the "Rome's slaves". This ancient water supply has a length of more than two hundred meters. Locals call him "Puente del Diablo" - "Devil Bridge". In the ancient Roman times, there were periods when Tarragona (then she was called Tarrako) in the brilliance and influence competed with Rome himself.
The narrow streets of the medieval center Tarragona protects the powerful fortress wall, at the base of which - huge boulders. That is why the fortress is called the "wall of cyclops". In the center of the city - the Cathedral of St. Focla, the original combination of romance and gothic styles.

By the way, on Rambla Street, you can walk not only in Barcelona. In general, every self-respecting town of Catalonia has its own area of \u200b\u200bCatalonia and his Rambla. And in Tarragona streets with such a name already two! New, Rambla Nova, - A wide street on which luxurious buildings of the XIX century in the style of Catalan modern, baroque and neoclassicism lined up. There are many cozy cafes where dates are often appointed.
Old Rambla, Rambla Vella, stretches parallel to the new one. It's closer to the historic part of the city. It is here that the famous live pyramids are lined up. If you were not lucky enough to get to such an idea, then you can admire the monument on this event. Every tourist who visited Tarragona is in the album photography against the bronze human pyramid. This snapshot is a mandatory part of the tourist program. Mobility, mostly young people and adolescents, try to boil upstairs. Some - it turns out. Fall on the metal heads of people who certainly not "pick up" - hurt. So, before risking, though, it is better to think and evaluate your capabilities and the possibility of your tourist medical insurance.

But see real, live pyramids - a different thing! To do this, it is better to go to the city when there is noted there Holy Tello Day (Furkles Iconian) - patroness of the city. The holiday lasts as many as 10 days. The saint day itself falls on September 23, but the celebrations start 10 days earlier, and the 23th number is the culmination of the holiday. Carnival is obligatory! What! Eye-catching! Well, a huge number of pyrotechnics! And treats, of course!


Hundreds of music teams hold many different events with the participation of all citizens and tourists.
This holiday originates back in 1921, when the Holy Temlah's hand was brought from Armenia to the city, Holy Relic.
Holy Temple Day does not complete all the guys.


He smoothly flows into Merce Day Merce, September 24, With a mandatory "continuation of the banquet" for a few more days. The very holiday, so noisily celebrated in Barcelona. So there is a circle of solid holidays! Just have time to find out the program and choose what you are interested. If you are lucky, then the famous living pyramid can be seen right in Barcelona.
