RIVER EBRO HOMES

FIESTAS & EVENTS

To really feel the true character of this part of Rural Spain, the Local Fiestas are not to be missed.  To be sure to catch some of the fun, book July and August when the Spanish people are in holiday mood, and something is sure to be happening in one village or another.

Fiesta Major Mora D´Ebre
The End of August is always the date for our FIESTA MAJOR:  A full week of  events, shows and dancing. The shops are closed,  the people have time off work, and everyone is in party mood.    For our 2008 fiesta he boat was once again well and truly pushed out   There was music and dancing to suit all ages from teenagers to pensioners. The 4 x 4 team put on their usual excellent display, and the “muleta” rowing boats from surrounding towns came and raced against the Mora D´Ebre teams  We had attractions to suit all tastes, from foam and waterpistol fights to traditional parades of giants and a special exhibition by the “Barcelona Falcons”, at gymnastic team that build human towers, a skill peculiar to Catalunya. And of course who can forget the two huge fireworks dispays that astound and
 dazzle us a bit more every year.   This is the week when you can really join in the Spanish way of life, as long as you don’t expect to get to bed before 3am

But don’t worry if you miss ours. There is a fiesta happening in all the local villages during July and August!

Tres Tuns
Tivissa - July

Most of the local villages like to host this delightful tradition, but last year was the first (and very successful) time for the tiny village of Tivissa.  The picturesque setting was ideal as the horses and carts circled the village three times, receiving their blessings from the priest as by passed by the church.
