"La Pedrera Giants" are the official
giants of the Eixample neighbourhood. They represent some of the incredible
Casa Milà's chimneys designed by Gaudí.
The giants or "gegants" are an old tradition in Catalonia that already
appears in old documents of the XIVth century related to the Corpus procession
in Barcelona.
Every town has its own giants and represents the typical men/women of the
region or some important person in the history of this place.
The giants go out during the patron saint holiday of the town (Festa
Major) or in special days, and dance in the streets going with little
"big-heads" or "cap-grossos".
