Passejada amb Barret, the hat walk | Barcelona

The Passejada amb Barret (hat walk) is an initiative of two Barcelona milliners, Nina Pawlowsky and Cristina de Prada, which has been running for 10 years and is gaining popularity all the time. It’s a fun, cheerful get-together that celebrates the good weather spring brings us and encourages people to put on a hat, or anything else on their head.

You can see all kinds of hats, each more unusual and original than the last, and all kinds of people enjoying this wonderfully creative initiative, inspired by the American idea of the ‘Easter Parade’.

The route starts on Rambla de Catalunya at Avinguda Diagonal (at the Jirafa Coqueta, the ‘coquettish giraffe’) and goes down to the end of the rambla.

Keep an eye out every spring so you can show off your hat!
