Barcelona News - Laia

Back in late February, Barcelona had a 3 day celebration for Laia, the patron of the city's soul. The festivities included the Castellers, which is a huge part of the festival, and also a light festival called Llum-BCN, which is when different images and stories are projected on City Hall and is absolutely amazing.

 Most of the activities are actually designed for kids, but they are for all to enjoy. Besides these activities Barcelona also opened up all of it's museums to visitors for free.

I was luck enough to stumble upon the light show one night, while out to dinner and then went back the next night to see more of the stories. I also got to see the Castellers, ranging in age for 8 years olds to 70 years, which was amazing to see and watch them form their pyramids.
