About
The Barceloneta neighborhood festival runs with traditional sardanes dancing, havaneres singing on the beach, a parade led by local giants Pep Barceló and Maria la Néta, and the signature cannon parade that fires sweets to the crowd. A correfoc with fire-flaring diables and decorated streets round out a program honoring Sant Miquel on 29 September, with a distinctly local, seaside atmosphere rooted in the neighborhood's fishing and seafaring heritage.
