Vidreres is a relatively small town located on the right, if you take the C-35 highway towards Barcelona, just before the Lloret de Mar exit. Here, right in the fields, every year the fun holiday Fira de Tractoristes de Vidreres takes place. It’s dedicated to agriculture and the most important machines involved in the difficult task of growing harvest – tractors! More than a hundred growling monsters, all kinds of colors and years of manufacture take part in the traditional defile of tractor drivers, some of those machines are older than their drivers!
A short story about how the festival of tractor drivers took place in Vidreres in 2017 with numerous photos can be viewed following the link.
The procession of giant dolls is a Catalan tradition, rooted in the deep Middle Ages. Every self-respecting town, even a very small one, usually has a pair of giant dolls who take part in local festivals and sometimes travel to neighboring cities.
This time the procession of dolls took place not just anywhere, but in a Spanish Village in Barcelona, so we could not miss such a spectacle! The procession was attended by several dozen giant dolls and much more living people from the staff of the doll service teams.
The story of the history of this entertaining tradition, as well as photos of how the procession of giants in the Spanish Village in Barcelona looked this year, can be viewed at the link.
