Festive bell ringing

On 29 August, Puigpunyent marks a festive occasion with the ringing of bells. Two much-anticipated traditions take centre stage: a shower of sweets and the traditional raising of the festival banner. The combination of bell sounds, shared anticipation and these time-honoured gestures gives the event a distinctly local character. If you are in Puigpunyent that day, it is a lovely chance to experience a community celebration and one of its festive customs first-hand.
