This year, decorations will be displayed at "Las Golondrinas" kiosk, Garatge Atarazanas, Santa Mònica, Barcelona Wax Museum, Palau Marc, Passatge Bacardí decorated by Rambla Bacardí Apartments, Tablao Flamenco Cordobés, Centro Galego, the facade of La Rambla 54, Hostal Mare Nostrum, the Joan Miró Mosaic by the Catifaires del Raval, Palau de la Virreina (where the floral action "A flower, a wish" will take place), Palau Moja, CentOnze Restaurant, Poliorama Theater, Moka Restaurant, and La Poma Restaurant. An intervention by the Flower Guild will welcome visitors at La Rambla Canaletes, an activity of the Municipal Institute of Parks and Gardens will be at the beginning of La Rambla dels Estudis, and visitors will be able to explore the gardens of Casa Ignacio de Puig and Ateneu Barcelonès.
Free Activities for Everyone
Aside from flowers, a staple of La Rambla, the festival offers many more activities. Music will be provided by Tablao Flamenco Cordobés, which will hold a free concert for its 55th anniversary, and by the "Amateur" group performing their bright pop at the Conservatori del Liceu's Teatrino. Attendees can also enjoy a Children's Party with Colla Patapum at the Maritime Museum of Barcelona, a Zumba class at CEM Colom, family activities at the Library and Maritime Museum, and free floral art workshops at La Boqueria. The festival will conclude, as every year, with the presentation of the Ramblista d'Honor awards.

The "Fem paelles a La Rambla," in its 3rd edition, will take place at La Rambla Santa Mònica on Saturday, October 18th. Participants from all over the city will compete to have their paella chosen as the best.
