15th of August – Festes de Gràcia

July 21, 2009

Message from Mary G. from the Admissions Team:

Greetings to everyone from Barcelona – welcome to those of you who are on your way or have already arrived!!


August 15th is the first day of a week-long (August 15thAugust 21) neighborhood party in Barcelona called “Festes de Gràcia”, in which the Gràcia residents decorate the streets and organize music & events in their famous squares. For the past 4 years, we have organized a welcome dinner for incoming ESADE students, also open to current students in town for the summer, as well as some members of the Admissions team, to kick off the Festes de Gràcia.

Information/pictures from the 2008 event can be found here.

Usually a number of ESADE students, alumni and staff meet before the dinner to take a walk around the decorated streets, and often then find ourselves in the middle of a parade…to later meet the rest of the group at the restaurant. We will keep you posted here at MyESADEMBA.com.
