Palm Sunday (Fiesta de Ramos/Fira de Rams) is one of the most important events in Spain's Christian calendar. In Barcelona there is a solemn procession that finds its way from La Seu (the cathedral) in the old town to one of the parishes.
Depending on the particular parishes that participate, it may be possible to see some of the palm craft creations made by local families. Visitors will be amazed by the sculptures on show, some of which are up to 12 feet high and have the most majestic braids, tassles and intricate designs.
While the procession doesn't take in all the parishes, each church does hold its own celebratory mass.
