“FESTA
MAJOR” IN LLEIDA
Every spring, there’s an incredible holidays in my
hometown of Lleida: the “Festa Major” of May. This celebration is because the
Sant Anastasi. This is a spring celebration. It’s in honour of the patron saint
of Lleida. It always takes place on the 11th of May.
These holidays are very interesting because of the
wide range of activities the city offers. There is a leaflet with all the
timetables for you to organize unforgettable days. There are activities for
everyone, from the youngest to the oldest ones.
Some of the activities are “gegants”, “correfocs”, the
flower battle, the fireworks and the night concerts. My favourite activity is the
“correfocs” because you feel the fire so close, the smell of the gunpowder and
the beats of the drums... it’s just a feeling that can be missed! My second
favourite activity is the night concerts because in Camps Elisis, the place
where they take place, is full of friends. There are concerts till the sunrise
so you can spend all the night dancing!
The “Festa Major” of Lleida is an incredible
experience. You can’t miss the opportunity to be in this holiday!
