Business as usual for Upgrade Spain.

Even though most of Barcelona is busy celebrating LA MERCÈ today, working outside the city center means business as usual for us. LA MERCÊ is an official city holiday, that has been celebrated since 1871. The festivity has religious origins and honours the Lady of Grace, the patron Saint of Barcelona.

Actually, the celebration has been going on for a few days already, with different concerts and many cultural & artistic events. Today the most visible part of the celebration, will be the Giant parades, human towers, the fountain show at Montjuic and of course, the fireworks. Tonight, the sky of Barcelona, will be lit up with beautiful colours, a crowd-pleaser without doubt.

LA Mercè can also give you the opportunity to taste some great local wine, as we are in the middle of harvest now. The cellars use the festivities to expose the best of wine and cava so we can all make a toast for the Lady Mercè herself; Salud!!!
