Aplec del Remei in Avià

In October, on the Sunday following the feast day of Saint Remei, the traditional Aplec del Remei de Avià is held at the Remei hermitage in Cal Castanyer. This event is a unique opportunity to enjoy local culture and traditions, as well as connect with the community.

The core of Avià was formed around the church of Sant Martí, built in the 9th century. This church is a notable example of the area's Romanesque architecture. At that time, the castle that served as a watchtower was also built, a key element for the safety of the inhabitants. The core appears to be walled, and it is believed that there were two access gates: one on Portal Street, which today still preserves the arch between two houses, and the other, which must have been located near Cal Gasolà.

In addition to its rich history, the municipality of Avià boasts significant natural, tangible, and intangible heritage. Visitors can enjoy spectacular landscapes, hiking trails, and a wide variety of flora and fauna. The local culture is also reflected in its festivals, traditions, and cuisine, inviting visitors to discover and experience village life.

If you're looking for an authentic and immersive experience, don't miss it! The Aplec del Remei is a great opportunity to get to know the Avià community and enjoy its traditions. Come and enjoy a day full of activities, music, and a good atmosphere in an incomparable natural setting.
