The fire run for La Mercè is the city’s traditional big fire event. Dozens of devils groups and infernal beasts get together beforehand in the heart of the old city to the sound of drums.
A spectacular occasion when drums and flying sparks fill the Via Laietana from Pl. Antoni Maura to Pl. Antonio López, with thousands of people dancing under the fire.
