Do you visit Barcelona during Easter time? Let’s go for\u00a0a special walking tour!<\/h3>\n

If you are coming this time to Barcelona it could be a perfect program to do a walking tour on the Barcelona’s streets and just observe the transformation of the city. It is worth noting that opening times for shops, museums, attractions and restaurants can be particularly awkward during this period. We recommend you to visit always the official webpages to check the opening times.<\/p>\n

At the same time try to find the positive side of this beautiful event and enjoy it. Discover the \u2019Vella Quaresma\u2019, \u2019Las Monas de Pascua\u2019 and the Palm Sunday.<\/p>\n

This weekend you can see people with their palms and laurel branches walking from Lesseps Station to the Park G\u00fcell. Why? Because the first day of the Semana Santa is the Palm Sunday, which is a Christian\u00a0moveable feast\u00a0that falls on the\u00a0Sunday\u00a0before\u00a0Easter. The feast commemorates Jesus’\u00a0triumphal entry into Jerusalem. In many Christian denominations, worship services on Palm Sunday include a procession of the faithful carrying palms, representing the palm branches the crowd scattered in front of Jesus as he rode into\u00a0Jerusalem.<\/p>\n

Typical food<\/h2>\n

Maybe during your walking tour, you start to get hungry so let’s see the typical food of the Easter.<\/p>\n

“If you’re in Barcelona for Easter Week, you can take advantage of a few tasty offerings<\/strong>. It’s a great time for fish-dish lovers, because on Good Friday, the few restaurants that remain open offer fantastic fish eats. Look around the maritime parts of Barcelona for the best offerings.<\/p>\n

Not only that, if you have a sweet tooth<\/strong> then you’ll want to try out Bunyols de Quaresmas<\/strong>, Catalonia’s alternative to Spanish Torrijas. They are a sugary doughnut with a slight anis flavour. You can buy Bunyols in practically any decent bakery in Barcelona.<\/p>\n

Finally, instead of Easter eggs, there are the aforementioned chocolate\u00a0Monas de Pascua<\/strong>, which you’ll get to eat on Easter Monday. Try to get one the week before<\/em> to avoid any queues, and be aware that they usually start with prices from \u20ac30<\/em> depending on the amount of chocolate and craftsmanship involved.”-\u00a0https:\/\/www.spain-holiday.com\/Barcelona-city\/articles\/barcelona-easter-guide#top<\/p>\n
