Sardana is the Catalan national dance and is a joyful spectacle. The Catalan people link arms in the air and form a circle, which increases in size as more people join the fun. They then carry out a synchronised jig perfectly in time to the reed and brass band. Sardanas are danced at all National festivals, but the best place to see the action in infront of the cathedral (Sat, 12:00-14:00. Sun, 18:30-20:30). We advise you don't join in unless your are certain of your Sardana prowess, locals take the dance fairly seriously.
