The Fiestas de la Mercè are much more than just the end of summer in Barcelona; they represent the memory, tradition, identity, and spectacle of the city. Since the Virgin of Mercy was officially proclaimed the city's patron saint in 1871, every September 24th, Barcelona transforms into a mosaic of popular culture, music, fire, dance, and shared emotion. In this book, historian César Alcalá invites us to explore the history and evolution of one of the most iconic celebrations in the Catalan capital, tracing its journey from religious origins to its current civic dimension.
