Shawl Dance, Ulldecona

add to planner

During the last week in August, and on two other weekends, Ulldecona celebrates La Festa Major (annual festival) to honour the Virgin de la Pietat, with all kind of activities such as the "correbous" (bulls) and the Shawl Dance, which is a strong tradition in the village. On Monday, at midnight, more than three hundred couples traditionally dressed - the women in shawls which more often than not, they have inherited from their mothers or grandmothers - leave the Town-hall accompanied by the Ulldecona Orchestra, and head for Sant LLuc church square, where they dance typical "Jotas" and "Dansades". For just over an hour, to the sound of the Orchestra, old and young alike re-live this dance, which is somewhere between religious and pagan.
