Catholic Mass in Barcelona

[kayjaypea42]

Hi all.  I will be in Barcelona on a Sunday from 5am - 6pm.  Where would be the best place to attend mass?  Is it a feasible thing to try for?  Thanks!

There are churches, large and small, every couple of blocks.  Just go to the closest one. On Sunday morning you can still hear the bells calling to Mass.

For a very special treat, go to the cathedral. Here are the mass times:

If you time it right, there is public dancing of the sardana every sunday at 11 in front of the cathedral.

All masses in any church will be either in Catalan or Spanish. You are unlikely to find any church that has it in English. 

It is possible to go to mass in the Sagrada Familia. Check their website for times. Some are in a chapel that has a separate entrance.

Try to go to the Cathedral…it’s near the water off Los Ramblas.  Can’t answer your other question…plus who knows what the protocols will be at the time of sailing?

Thanks so much! Oh, that would be awesome to see the dancing of the Sardana.  My grandmother would be so pumped! Thank you again!
