When spring rolls around it brings the heat and love is in the air. In reality the Catalans know how to do it right. Not for the heat brought about in late April, but for Sant Jordi, the Catalan version of Valentine’s Day.

This Sunday April 7, for the ninth year in a row, the Stroll with a Hat (Paseo con Sombrero) will take place in the heart of Barcelona. It is a popular event in which the community walks through the city with one requirement only: everyone must wear a hat. It is a curious and unforgettable event you cannot miss out on.
