#setembre

SETEMBRE

Every month I’ll do a compilation of pictures of things that I liked, of places where I’ve been or anything that I thought was worth of a picture in that period of time. And in the center there will be the lockscreen that I used that month.

Catalan festivities

Wine Harvest Festivals (Festes de la Verema) are a group of festivities celebrated around the wine-producing areas of Catalonia during the season that grape is harvested (from September to early October). Wine-making has been one of the most important industries in Catalonia for centuries, particularly in the Priorat, Penedès, and Bages regions, but also important in Empordà, Costers del Segre, and others.

Festivity of Planting the Rice in Ebro Delta

A characteristic traditional job in the area of the delta of the Ebro river is to take care of the rice fields. For this reason, the work in the rice fields is tied to many cultural elements typical from that region, such as many recipes, some celebrations and many traditional games.

Every June, they celebrate the Festivity of Planting the Rice (Festa de la Plantada de l’Arròs), where a group of farmers shows how their ancestors used to plant the rice. They also do traditional dances and music from the area, such as jotes; traditional games, like the birles; and a popular lunch where everyone can eat typical food, including different recipes of rice and paracotes (a small cake prepared by the paracoteros during all the morning).

In September or October, with the Festivity of the Harvesting, they show again how their ancestor used the sickle to harvest the fields, and how they used to pick the grains of rice.

Lluna plena d'avui.
