About This Book

A detailed, locality-focused portrait describes a Catalan town built on a ridge, its streets, plazas, public fountains, notable houses and surrounding orchards and masias. The text surveys everyday life and seasonal rhythms, emphasizing market days, an agrarian-based economy with some industry, and the social institutions and festivals that define communal identity. Attention centers on popular spectacles and rites, notably the technique, music and crowd dynamics of human tower building, alongside traditional dances and civic groups. Historical notes and topographical description combine with vivid observational passages to convey customs, ceremonies and the built landscape.
