My catalonia!

Catalunya has a wealth of customs, traditions and festivals. In the local holidays there are animation in the squares and in the streets.

The Sardana is considered the nacional dance of Catalonia, with the tpypical wind instruments of Cobla. The "dansa de bastons" and “Jota” of the Terres de l’Ebre are other folk dances, while the songs of Havaneres, typical of the beach, they remember the past of the colonies overseas.

Another very important cultural event is the lifting of human castles, custom originated in the Camp de Tarragona. The groups of “castellers” rival to form the castles of better structure and greater height of up to nine floors, which was crowned with the “enxaneta”, a child who, perched above all, raise your arm while the sounds of chirimía.

A perfect combination of sentiment and culture is the celebration of St. George, patron of Catalonia. Every April 23 the streets are filled with flowers and books. A few days later, on April 27, is a credit to the patron saint of Catalonia: the Mare de Deu de Montserrat.

See you!!
