Josep Mestres · Il·lustracions

The church is named Santa Maria del Mar, and it is a basilica that resides in the neighbourhood of the "Born" in Barcelona.
It is surrounded by nice and narrow streets with plenty of bars, shops and museums such as the Picasso museum, which is not too far from there. I went to this basilica because there was a presentation to the public of the giants and their new clothes. The giants are an important and traditional element in Catalan popular culture, and they, the giants, go dancing in the streets during festivities throughout the year.
