Since XVI,
generation after generation, the people from Cervera host one of the
oldest traditions in Catalonia: The celebration of Sant MagÃ
It
takes place on the 19th
of August and hundreds of people collaborate in helping the
coordinators and taking part. It’s promoted by the people who live
in the neighborhood, which has the same name as the event.
This
celebration is very successful in all the country and very funny for
the people who participate because there are a lot of activities for
the young ones: like
jokes and sports; and other ones for the older ones: like dinners or
walks. However, the most popular act is when the people go to house
to house and through the street, with decorated donkeys, giving
miraculous water from the Sant Magà Brufaganya’s hermitage.
Fortunately,
the solidarity permits continue this tradition until now; hopefully,
it can be repeated for many years.
