Festa major is one of the most loved holidays in Catalan culture. Each town celebrates it on the day of their patron saint with traditional Catalan dances that change from area to area and sometimes even from town to town. They are especially celebrated in the Southern half of Catalonia, with fire dances (devils) and fire beasts (dragons and some other legendary creatures) as well as other dances.

Each dance is accompanied by their musician band, which includes different traditional instruments (gralles —a shawm wind instrument—, bagpipes, different kinds of drums, flabiol —a small flipple flute—, etc) but for the fire dances, because of their devilish nature, they're accompanied only by drums.
