What it is

Santa Tecla explained

One of Catalonia's most intense festa majors: the Seguici Popular of dragons, mulasses and devils, plus castellers building nine-storey human towers in front of the cathedral.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Tarragona tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
