See the action with Barcelona Car Hire from £12 per day

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - August 9th, 2012 - There are so many festivals taking place in Barcelona during August that travellers are recommended to book a holiday abroad during this summer season. The 3 largest festivals are all held close together and many holidaymakers stay for all of them.

The Circuit Festival in Barcelona is an international week long Gay and Lesbian event starting on 2 until 12 August, with pre-parties, parties, music, art and sports activities included in the program. The Circuit Festival draws more than 50,000 people travelling from Europe, so travellers are recommended by Argus Car Hire to book their vehicles before they arrive. Argus Car Hire is offering renters a daily rental rate of £12 per day during the summer.

Another festival called the Sants Festa Major takes place around the Carrer de Sants Street in Barcelona’s Montjuïc district. In most of the main streets parties and activities are hosted by the locals. The festivities continue way into the night with music, parades and a “dance of the giants.” One of the major highlights of this festival is the annual Sants Festa Major cycling race, called the Cursa Ciclista, ‘Memorial Antoni Andrés Sancho.’ Biking enthusiasts will love this beautiful race through the streets of this majestic city. Argus Car Hire offers additional items such as bicycle racks to renters who bring their own bikes.

Every year from 15 until 21 August the streets of Barcelona's Gràcia district are transformed into a magical wonderland during the Gràcia festival. The festival is eagerly awaited and locals make space on their calendars months in advance. Argus Car Hire is very excited to bring international tourists the opportunity to head to the up-town district of Gràcia to see what this amazing festival is all about.

What can you expect from the Gràcia festival?
The concept of the Gràcia festival is very simple, each street in the neighbourhood tries to win the prize for being the best decorated. The annual competition is taken very seriously and the standards are set very high. Each team chooses a theme that will be judged in the end of the competition for creativity and originality.

The first day of this festival is a public holiday in Barcelona car hire called ´Assumption Day.´ The Gracia festival has a large variety of activities and a packed program with more than 600 activities, 19 streets and plazas are expected to be decorated by the residents and over 400 families are planning to take part this year! Travellers from abroad can enjoy the colourful city streets while they take in the many wonderful Catalan traditions and cultures. Throughout the week there will be festivities with various concerts and shows to enjoy. The festival is free to spectators, so make sure you don’t miss out.
