On September 1, the Ripollès mountain resort will celebrate the feast of Saint Gil

Vall de Núria will celebrate Saint Gil, the patron saint of the shepherds of the eastern Pyrenees. In the past, this day marked the end of the high mountain grazing season. It is a religious festival that combines solemn acts (such as a mass or a procession) with musical proposals and traditional dances.

 

As every year, the station will prepare a fun, gastronomic and cultural activities to honor the saint, among which stand out the shepherds' breakfast, the sheep selection, the sardanas, the commemorative mass, the torch procession to Saint Gil and the long-awaited demonstration of halter dogs.
