Valldaura Major Party

This event, belonging to the socio-educative area (within the group of educative activities), is held annually on 1st May, in the spaces of this therapeutic school which, in ancient times, was a Cistercian monastery founded in the 13th century.

Mainly, the neighbors of the town of Olvan (Berguedà) used to make a pilgrimage to the Romanesque hermitage of Santa Maria de Valldaura. From Amalgama7, wishing to respect people, history and tradition, we have held this holiday by extending it to the young residents, the team and friends.

Methodology

At 11 a.m. a welcoming reception takes place, then at 11.30 a.m., as the tradition dictates, a Eucharistic celebration takes place. At 12.30 there is a theatrical show, social circus… At 13.30  there is an aperitif and guided tours to the school begin.

Goals

  • Keep the tradition of this meeting as a thank you to the neighbors of Olvan and his Town Hall for their welcome.
  • Make it possible for May 1st also to be an open day so that all those who wish can visit the facilities of the residential centre, as well as know their plan of operation.
  • That the residents themselves are in charge of making the guided tours.
