Matagalls Aplec in Viladrau

The Matagalls Gathering in Viladrau once again invites hikers, locals, and nature lovers to share a very special day on one of Catalonia's most emblematic peaks. The event combines hiking, scenery, spirituality, and local culture, keeping alive the spirit of a long-standing tradition.

The morning will begin with a gathering at the Creu de Matagalls, a landmark for many people who climb to the summit year after year to participate in this celebration. The open and panoramic surroundings offer a privileged view of the mountain range and invite everyone to experience it with calm, respect, and a sense of community.

During the day, recognition will be given to the participants for their dedication, a way of highlighting the loyalty and commitment of all those who keep this tradition alive. There will also be a moment of reflection with the celebration of Mass, in remembrance of friends who have passed away.

Once the celebration is over, the shared songs will help to close the summit gathering with emotion and a sense of brotherhood. These are simple moments, yet full of symbolism, uniting landscape, memory, and tradition.

In the afternoon, the festivities will continue in the village with a sardana dance, adding a cultural and folk element to the day. The music and dance will extend the convivial atmosphere and allow everyone to celebrate the spirit of the gathering, even on foot.

A date to climb the mountain, reconnect with the community and experience a day rooted in the territory, in memory and in shared culture.
