The Wirdheim.CAT Event Calendar is a summary of events where I will go, or at least could think of going, and can hopefully be of help to other expats or tourists when they explore Catalonia. It is biased towards the Penedès area (including Sitges), but will also list manifestations of popular culture and other activities taking place in Barcelona, along the Costa Daurada and in the rest of the Catalan speaking world.
This entry will be up-dated whenever I learn about new things, since (compared to my native Sweden) here information about what will happen tends to come late.
To the greatest extent possible will I link back to official pages (usually in Catalan) for information on time and locations but can not guarantee the correctness of the data presented.
Further information on castells/castellers (human tower) performances can be found under the tag ‘Properes Actuacions‘at the Coordinadora de les Colles Castelleres de Catalunya, or in the ‘Calendari’ at LaMalla.cat/castellers.
