Barcelona for Culture Lovers: May, a Month of Tradition and Art

By | 19 May, 2025 | 0 comments

Barcelona – city of culture

Barcelona is a vibrant, exciting city with a rich cultural heritage that attracts tourists from all over the world. If you’re a culture enthusiast, May and early June are the ideal time to explore the city, as it plays host to a wide range of events, traditions and activities designed to celebrate its history, art and legacy. From iconic local festivals to a choice of free museums, Barcelona is a destination not to be missed.

Ou com balla (Dancing egg)

One of the most emblematic events of these celebrations is the traditional ‘Ou Com Balla’ (Dancing Egg). This custom, celebrated in some of the city’s most iconic churches, consists of placing an egg in a fountain as a symbol of the renewal of life. The egg is often decorated, and ‘dances’ to the rhythm of the water, creating a magical atmosphere that the locals celebrate with joy. This tradition can be experienced in places such as the Santa María Magdalena or Sant Pau del Camp monasteries, where it is celebrated around the feast of Corpus Christi.

People dancing the Sardana

Another tradition that comes to life in the city’s squares and streets during the months of May and June is the Sardana, a traditional Catalan dance that brings together hundreds of people for public performances. Sardanas are a unique way of experiencing a local tradition in which participants join hands in a circle and dance in celebration of unity and joy. Two of the best places to enjoy these live performances are the Plaça de la Catedral or the Plaça Sant Jaume, two of the city’s most iconic squares.

Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC)

In addition to these traditions, Barcelona offers an impressive culture and art programme, and enthusiasts are invited to take advantage of museums offering free admission on the first Sunday of each month. The Museu Picasso, the Fundació Joan Miró, and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC) are among the museums that open their doors on these days, offering visitors the ideal opportunity to admire the works of some of the most important artists in history.

May and June are the perfect time to enjoy Barcelona’s cultural gems, from its traditional festivals to its art galleries and museums. If you’re looking to immerse yourself in the true essence of this city, there’s no better time than now.
