Thousands of visitors came to El Perelló’s famous Firabril, the town’s celebration of honey and oil, on 16 and 17 April 2016.

Stands were laden with food and drink, artisans displayed their work and the crowds were entertained with performances, including Catalunya’s celebrated Castellers. The fairground provided plenty of activities for the young people too.

There’s a film about Firabril here (in Catalan).

Thanks to our readers who contributed photos to this gallery.

  • Pitchside with Pope: Two victories for Perelló | Perelló Plus 19th April 2016 12:37 pm

    […] Firabril attracted thousands of people to El Perelló over the weekend and therefore a larger than average crowd attended the football match against the bottom club (colista) in the league, Campredó. The whole atmosphere was festive and this seemed to rub off on the players as the tempo of the game never rose much above a practice match. […]
