On the weekend of 18 and 19 April, the park will offer cultural and family activities aimed at encouraging reading and fostering an interest in the world of books
Visitors will also be invited to take part in a photography competition featuring the new ‘Barcelona’ letters
To prepare for Sant Jordi, on the weekend of 18 and 19 April, Parc d’atraccions Tibidabo will be holding the first edition of the Festa de les Lletres, an event that brings together culture, reading and leisure in one of the city’s most iconic spaces. The cultural initiative will involve reading-related activities for all audiences, as well as special discounts for visitors.
In order to promote reading, over that weekend, anyone who brings a book to exchange will get a 30% discount on the price of their entry ticket (applicable to adult tickets only). This way, visitors can give away books they have already read and take away new ones to discover. The book exchange will take place at the book stall next to the Carousel.
The highlight of the Festa de les Lletres will be the all-new storytelling experience ‘La Llegenda Oblidada’ (The Forgotten Legend), on at 1:30 pm, 5:30 pm and 6:30 pm on Plaça dels Somnis. This activity brings together the tradition of the legend of Sant Jordi, imagination and stories.
On top of all this, all visitors are entitled to a bookmark to commemorate the Festa de les Lletres. Over at the Espai dels Somnis, a creative workshop will be held, where children can colour in and personalise their own bookmarks. Of everyone who takes part and sends a photo of their creation to comunicaciotibidabo@bsmsa.cat will be entered into a prize draw for five giant Tibidabo Mascot stuffed toys.

Meanwhile, the park will be holding a photography competition featuring the new ‘Barcelona’ letters at the Panoramic Area viewpoint. To take part, simply take a photo with the letters, post it to Instagram between 18 and 23 April, tag the profile @parctibidabo and include the hashtag #BarcelonaTibidabo. Participants could win a double annual pass for the attractions in the Panoramic Area and the Cuca de Llum.
