Comment from Philippa Burne
Gracia is a barrio (district) of Barcelona that you must not miss. It has a fantastic community spirit and seems to have endless street festivities throughout the year. March 3rd is one of the most fun especially for kids, because it’s all about candy. You’ll almost certainly discover that Sant Medir is in fact the patron saint of the fava bean, known to us as the broad bean – sworn enemy of children everywhere...
