Slow motion video of a traditional dance performed at the end of the Saint Anne festa major (traditional Catalan holiday that each town holds on the day of the town's patron saint) in Escaldes-Engordany, Andorra.

With the slow motion, you can see the clothes well. They're wearing the traditional outfit of formal occasions in Old Catalonia (the north-eastern half of Catalonia) and Andorra, in the rest of Catalonia (New Catalonia) usually reserved for the pubilla and hereu (elected cultural representatives).

They have said to me words that have coiled round my neck and slithered through my hair. Often I have seemed happier than I was. Smiling attracts the snakes’ venom.
