The rest of the agenda for the period March 15-31 has been moved to the new web Discover Penedès which you can find here.
- - -
This agenda is also available Catalan, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
- - -
The Penedès Agenda is a collection of celebrations, cultural activities and traditions which I recommend toforeigners (expats from Barcelona, tourists in Catalonia and others) who want to explore Penedès or events which I consider important from a – highly subjective – international perspective. It is biased towards the comarca Garraf (Vilanova i la Geltrú and Sitges) but also covers Alt Penedès, Baix Penedès and Anoia.
The agenda posts are usually up-dated when I come across new information. To the greatest extent possible I link back to official pages for information on time and locations and cannot guarantee the accuracy of the data presented. Feel free to inform me about events which you think would fit in here, either by writing a comment or contacting me on twitter: @wirdheim
