La Casa dels Entremesos

• Real festival giants up close, the same figures that parade during festes majors, on display between outings with no barrier to a good look
• Saturday puppet shows run roughly monthly at 10:30 or 11:30; capacity is small and booking opens one month before each date
• First-Sunday theatrical tour, a 50-minute storytelling visit that brings out the legends behind each giant, €5

La Casa dels Entremesos fills the old Palau Mercaders with Barcelona's festival imagery: the giants, capgrossos, and bestiary that parade through Ciutat Vella during festes majors live here between outings. Kids can walk right up to the figures, catch a roughly monthly Saturday-morning puppet show, or join the theatrical tour of the giants held the first Sunday of each month.
