Fairs and Festivals

Anoia is a region to be discovered step by step, along rivers and trails, but also tasted at the table. Its gastronomy reflects an agricultural and livestock land, marked by the balance between tradition and creativity. No need for great artifices: typical dishes of Anoia are born from local products, cooked with simplicity and wisdom. A landscape that enters through the eyes and stays on the palate.

One of the most typical ways to relive the Middle Ages in Catalonia and Barcelona is to explore their vast Romanesque and Gothic heritage. But you may not know about the many mediaeval fairs that can be enjoyed throughout the year in several towns close to Barcelona.

In this ancient country we're passionate about protecting and celebrating our festivals and traditions. We enjoy our great Mediterranean climate, sea, landscape and traditions with festive, joyful and infectious enthusiasm! Drop everything and join us as we usher in the main festivals of our towns and cities. In addition to paying homage to the local patron saint, you can enjoy plenty of other activities in these popular and inclusive festivals: street parades, gegants and capgrossos (papier mâché giant and "big head" figures), trabucaires (bandits carrying blunderbuss guns), music, dancing, diables (groups of people dressed as devils who set off fireworks) and spectacular human towers.
