Description

Vallvidrera is a small urban centre in the Collserola range, which grew up in the middle of the 19th century round the 16th-century Santa Maria de Vallvidrera church and has been part of Sarrià since 1990. For many years it was a place where some people from Barcelona spent the summer but now it has permanent residents.

The local residents' association and civic centre organise a festa major in the second week in September. The activities' programme is very varied so everyone can find something they like. It includes exhibitions, children's workshops, theatre, festival dances, sports activities, concerts and communal meals. For a number of years now it has also formed part of the Fira Agrícola de Collserola, an agricultural fair with the organic produce of local professionals.

Origins

The first reference we have of the festa major dates from the 1960s
