La Corrida

The Festival of St. Antoni Abat

The tracidional festival of Sant Antoni Abat is known by a specific name in Puig-reig: La Corrida. At the end of next week Sant Antoni gives homage to the old carrier job with a parade that has horses and men as its protagonists. Alongside the parade, a celebration of one of the most renowned industries in the municipality and the region, that of cured pork sausages. The most spectacular moment of all comes in the afternoon with a skills competition for the most daring riders with horses, mules and donkeys. They add emotion, smiles and the odd scare to the day. Venue: Puig-reig. Dates: 17th, 18th and 19th January 2014.
