After the Easter parade called “passejada amb barret”, where hundreds of people walked along Rambla Catalunya to welcome the springtime wearing a hat, now the Plaça del Rei (The King’s square) bursts into full bloom with folk music every Friday evening until late at night. It’s a perfect chance to enjoy traditional music in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona at an open-air medieval square for free. It’s a festival that has been taking place for so long. This year celebrates its 57th edition with dance workshops (from 9:30 to 10 pm) and traditional music played by different bands till midnight.
Here you have the programme to join the merry dancers or get a kick out of the traditional music from around the world.
