Today Corpus Christi will be celebrated in Barcelona with parades of giants and big-headed carnival figures known as 'Cabezudos' that meet around the cathedral area in the centre of the city.
During the celebration of the L'ou com Balla, or "dancing egg" festival, which dates back from the 16th century, an emptied eggshell is perched above a stream of water coming from one of the city's many fountains, which are decorated with flowers in deep reds and pretty pinks. Under the water jet, the egg appears to dance in mid-air! It's free and maybe worth taking a look if you happen to be in Barcelona today.
