To see dancing the sardane, it is necessary to go in front of the cathedral of Barcelona saturdays at 18. 30, Sunday with 12 H and Wednesday towards 19 H, or placed of Sant Jaume Sunday at the end of the afternoon.

The orchestra called cobla is consisted eleven musicians: a string instrument, the wind double bass and ten instruments: a flaviol, two tenors, two tibles, two trumpets, a trombone, and two fiscorns. The musician who plays the flaviol is provided in addition to one small tambourine, which with the double bass have the role of supporting the rate/rhythm.
