The Wirdheim.CAT Event Calendar hereby celebrates its first anniversary. Congratulations as well as proposals for improvements are always highly welcome in the comment field.
The event calendar is a summary of events where I will go, or at least could think of going, but can hopefully help other expats and tourists when they explore
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.
