I LOVE LLORET NATIONAL DAY OF CATALONIA..September 11th is the day that
Catalonia celebrates its
national holiday, the fiesta commemerates the defeat of
Catalan troops in the
siege of Barcelona in
1714, a siege that had lasted for fourteen months!.Traditionally people lay flowers at the monuments to the defenders of the city and there are political rallies and marches in larger towns & cities usually about independence for
Catalonia, but its also a day of parties, dancing & fireworks a very happy day in
lloret de mar
The holiday was officially reinstated in 1980 after the end of the Franco dictatorship.
