La Mercè Festival, Barcelona, Spain

In Spain, food, culture, and music are synonymous. The city's largest festival, La Mercè, takes place for four days every September. The festival dates back to 1871, when it was first deemed an official city holiday honoring The Roman Catholic feast day of Our Lady Mercy.

Book a ticket and eat all the paella, tapas, and Spanish food you possibly can. There will also be plenty of homemade sangria as you dance and eat late into the night.
