Now who else can hold a fiesta as well as the Spanish, starting in April with one dedicated to the city's patron saint when Las ramblas blossoms into a flower market (for the girls) and a book stall for the boys. Then mid mid-June the Sonar festuval is one of music and art, with entertainment for the larks and the owls.

A week later its off to the beach, at night this time to enjoy the colorful explosions in the city's sky, a great excuse for fun an frolics all night .And even in the midst of all that hot n sticky summer weather the arty crowd are still at it with events held all over the city from kiddie art camps through to wine n cheese shows, exhausting. Better get a Luxury Breaks hotel to recover.

Mid August sees the Gracia area come into its own and September closes off the main fiesta season with city wide events including the fireworks left over from the beach party, a few barrels of vino tinto from the Gracia bash and the odd wooden giant or two thrown in to make your Weekend Breaks break in Barcelona a mad hatters tea party
