Description

The Bon Pastor neighbourhood is next to the River Besòs and forms the border with the Santa Coloma de Gramenet municipality. Due to its proximity to the river, for centuries the area was arable farmland. From the 19^th century onward many industries began to be located here, like the Maquinista Terrestre i Marítima. This meant the area was developed in very distinct stages and, in fact, it is made up of the unuion of several different quarters.

Currently, Bon Pastor holds its week-long festa major, the main festival, at the beginning of May. The neighbourhood organisations are actively involved in arranging all kinds of events: sporting competitions, community meals, kiddies' activities and dances. Popular culture is represented by fire: the Diables i Bruixes del Bon Pastor devils' groups are in charge of organising the correfoc, the fire run.
