Spain's Christian calendar in Barcelona, Palm Sunday. The palm craft creations made by local families. Visitors will be bowled over by the sculptures on show, some of which are up to 12 feet high and sport the most majestic braids, tassles and intricate designs. Depending on the particular parishes that participate in procession while the procession doesn't take in all the parishes, each church does hold its own celebratory mass. (Bendición de la Palma.) Blessing of the palm is one of the main events after the procession. Barcelona offers a balance of rich history with a hearty celebration of the modern in its culture, art, and architecture. History lovers will want to stroll the avenues and back streets of the Ciutat Vella (Old Town), taking in rustic subtleties along with such famous sites as the Catedral and Museo de Picasso. This famous street leads to the shore front home of the aquarium, World Trade Center, Olympic Site, and many museums.
