Where can we see the carriages without fighting a crowd?

Head to Ronda de Sant Antoni or near Mercat de Sant Antoni where the parade moves slower and you'll get a real view instead of just hearing it pass. If you want a backup plan, Plaça Universitat or Pelai work too, but they'll be packed. Get there by 10am to claim a spot, especially if your kids are small and need to see over people's heads.

What do I do if it rains that Saturday?

The event was originally scheduled for January and got postponed because of rain and animal welfare concerns, so they take weather seriously. Check the official webpage in the event of rain; if it's canceled again, they'll reschedule.
