XIXè Aplec de Sardanes de Sant Andreu de Palomar

The XIXè Aplec de Sardanes de Sant Andreu de Palomar brings the traditional Catalan circle dance to the heart of Barcelona's Sant Andreu district. Organized by the Foment Sardanista Andreuenc, a non-profit association dedicated to promoting the sardana, the event gathers dancers and musicians in the open air for an afternoon of shared steps and live cobla music.

Attendees can expect a welcoming, community-driven atmosphere where both seasoned dancers and newcomers are invited to join in. The Foment not only organizes these ballades but also offers free lessons in dancing, counting, and distributing the sardanes, making it easy for visitors to participate. The event is part of a series of ballades held at the Plaça de Can Fabra, a central square in the neighborhood.

For those interested in experiencing a genuine piece of Catalan culture, this aplec offers a chance to see the sardana performed in its traditional setting, accompanied by the distinctive sound of a cobla band. It's a lively, family-friendly occasion that celebrates local heritage and community spirit.
