Post Carnival

Giant Puppets and Dancing

You would think that right after lent starts, Spain (a verry Catholic country) would be a solemn place. But apparently the Feast day of the Patron Saint of Barcelona, Saint Eulalia perks up their spirits. Saint Eulalie was martyred at the age of 13 (which is why there are 13 butresses on the Barcelona Cathedral). She keeps sailors and boatmen safe and was interred in Santa Maria del Mar.
