If you’re looking for original plans for this Easter, Barcelona offers a wide variety of options, from cultural and gastronomic traditions to unique experiences that you’ll love. Here are some activities to experience Easter in a different way, without losing the essence of these days.
1. Immerse yourself in an experience at IKONO Barcelona
If you want to start Easter with a different plan, IKONO Barcelona is the perfect choice. Here you can explore different sensorial spaces and surprising settings without leaving the city. Our recommendation? Jump into a giant ball pit, draw with light, or become part of an interactive artwork. A perfect activity to enjoy with family, friends, or as a couple, ensuring fun and amazing photos.
2. Try traditional Easter sweets
There’s nothing better than tasting the traditional delights of the season. In Barcelona, you can’t miss the Mona de Pasqua, an iconic cake that bakeries create with great creativity. Visit places like Escribà or Hofmann to try innovative versions. You can also enjoy classic Santa Teresa toasts, pestinyos, and buñuelos at renowned bakeries like La Colmena or Forn Mistral.
3. Experience the Easter processions
Barcelona also hosts several processions that keep the tradition alive. One of the most notable is the Procession of the Donkey, held on Palm Sunday in the Gothic Quarter. On Friday, the Silent Procession in Badalona and the Procession of Our Lady of Macarena at Barcelona Cathedral are emotional moments worth experiencing.
4. Listen to the drum parade at Barcelona Cathedral
On Sunday, Easter in Barcelona culminates with the Drum Parade at the Cathedral, where the sound of drums fills the square to mark the end of these celebrations, a spectacular event that fills the city center with a vibrant and solemn atmosphere.
