The story
Festa Major Andorra la Vella in Andorra la Vella
Andorra la Vella's Festa Major runs across several days in early August with sardana dancing performed by a full cobla ensemble, a communal paella lunch in a central square, and a children's race named after the Menairons folklore figures, spread across the capital's squares and streets under a published municipal programme.
A children's race named after the Menairons, the same mountain-spirit folklore figures who lead the Christmas treasure hunt months later, threads through the Festa Major d'Andorra la Vella, a sign of how consistently the capital draws on local folklore across its calendar rather than importing generic festival formats.
