[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here is a view of one of the most ancient traditions in Catalunya, it's called Patum. It's been declarated Human Heritage by the UNESCO.
In the picture we can see "nans vells i nans nous" dancing. Every year thousands of people fill the square of Berga to live this event.
At night fire is the gueststar of the Patum.

Great pov Jordi!
You must have had the best view at the festival!
These huge head figures remind me of the ones I saw in Iruna (Pamplona) for el encierro last year. Am I right?

I love Spain so thanks for sharing this photo! You guys have so much fun there :)
