Stories from Montblanc · Spain

The Council of Europe is considering a new cultural itinerary based on local festivities in five municipalities. These include Bessel in the Netherlands, Furtwangen in Germany, and Montblanc in Catalonia, Spain. The mayor of Montblanc, Marc Vínia, stated that the cultural route would be established based on the festivities of each participating municipality. The dragon is an emblematic figure in Montblanc's local festivals, which took place from April 17 to April 26. This route will highlight various festivals from different cities, offering visitors the option to experience them over multiple years. The proposal differs from the Camino de Santiago by focusing on a collection of festivals rather than a single path. This initiative aims to highlight cultural heritage and foster connections between different European regions.
