Of course, those acts related to the patron saint are also very diverse: one can try the traditional cake of the so-called <strong><em>Bra\u00e7 de Santa Tecla<\/em><\/strong> (literally, Santa Tecla\u2019s arm, a relic still preserved in the city), watch a staging of the <strong><em>Retaule de Santa Tecla<\/em><\/strong> by Esbart Dansaire, or follow the solemn and traditional procession of <strong><em>Bra\u00e7 de Santa Tecla<\/em><\/strong>. There\u2019s also a lot of other activities such as \u201cSanta Tecla in the school\u201d or the \u201cSanta Tecla gastronomy\u201d, with a number of food suggestions that appear to be a true delicious bomb for your stomachs, like the very famous and genuine \u201c<em>espineta amb cargols<\/em>\u201d (tuna back with snails). Concerts, parades, \u201c<em>castells<\/em>\u201d performances (human towers), exhibitions\u2026 All this in order to honour <strong>Santa Tecla<\/strong> which, with the permission of <strong>La Merc\u00e8<\/strong> \u2013<strong>Barcelona<\/strong>\u2019s local festivity\u2013, has become the mother of the country\u2019s festivities. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/1907317827tarragona_santa_tecla_rafael_lopez-monne_31.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2127\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/1907317827tarragona_santa_tecla_rafael_lopez-monne_31.jpg\" alt=\"Entrada del Bra\u00e7 de Santa Tecla \/ \u00a9Rafael L\u00f3pez-Monn\u00e9\" width=\"800\" height=\"557\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/1907317827tarragona_santa_tecla_rafael_lopez-monne_31.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/1907317827tarragona_santa_tecla_rafael_lopez-monne_31-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla12.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2134\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla12.jpg\" alt=\"Taus \/ \u00a9Pere Toda-Vilaniu Comunicaci\u00f3\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1330\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla12.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla12-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla12-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"2135\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla13.jpg\" alt=\"Tau \/ \u00a9Pere Toda-Vilaniu Comunicaci\u00f3\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1330\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla13.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla13-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tarragonaexperience.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/tecla13-1024x680.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The festivity\u2019s climax is the entrance of the <em><em>Bra\u00e7 de Santa Tecla<\/em><\/em> into the <strong>Cathedral<\/strong> \u2013on Wednesday 23 evening\u2013, which becomes an amazing and unique spectacle one must definitely watch and experience.
