this: you are wearing a crazy-ugly hat, and you have around your neck a
Hawaiian necklace with colorful flowers. You would be a bit embarrassed of
yourself, if it wasn't for the fact that you are surrounded by thousands of
others like you. It also helps that you are in Barcelona, where no one knows
you, and that it is Carnival! Can you think of a better moment to go with the
flow?
At
The Hostel Box, we would like to suggest to you some activities that you would
hate to miss during your visit to this amazing city.
Thursday,
there is a parade to welcome the Carnival King, which will go through the city
center and will be, for sure, a different way to discover the old building and
streets Barcelona has to offer. The parade will finish at Plaça Comercial,
close to the Mercat del Born (such a awesomely big iron building that is an
absolute must see), with fireworks and an inaugural dance to start with the
five days celebration.
For
Saturday, we suggest you to walk around and enjoy the small parades each
neighborhood organizes. We love the one which runs through Gracia and the one starting
from La Rambla del Raval.

Carnival is famed for being very fun, traditional and going back to its roots. And
if you are a looking for a big party, head to nearby Sitges where in the
evening there is a world famous carnival where you can party all night!
To
finish this carnival-weekend, on Sunday, it is essential to see the big
flashmob: this year there is the ‘What does the fox say?’ hit playing,
everybody will dance at the same time with the same choreography. If you want
to get ready for it, just click the link and learn the steps! After that there
is a fantastic show with balloons and confetti that will be the perfect ending
for the perfect weekend.
ENJOY!
