The story

Festa Major Santa Coloma in Santa Coloma

Santa Coloma's Festa Major, a village-scaled weekend within Andorra la Vella parish, runs a capped guided walk through the Enclar valley and a free medieval trail alongside sardanes, a solemn mass, a communal paella lunch, a havaneres concert, a petanque tournament and a foam party across late August.

A guided walk through the Enclar valley capped at nineteen places, and a separate free medieval trail through the village, sit alongside sardanes and a communal paella lunch as the poles of Santa Coloma's Festa Major, a village-scaled celebration held within Andorra la Vella parish but run by its own Festa Commission working alongside the capital's Comú.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Running a capped, advance-registration guided walk into the Enclar valley alongside a free self-guided medieval trail gives Santa Coloma's festa a hiking-and-heritage layer that most Andorran parish festivals do not offer

02

The mystery stays covered

The mix of a havaneres, Catalan sea-shanty, concert by the Sons de Mar group with a rap battle at the Serradora car park also spans generations unusually widely within one small-village programme, rather than sticking to a single traditional register throughout
