Pyrenean Mythology Day - La Guardia d'Ares, Alt Urgell
The popular imagination of the Pyrenees, led by the "minairons" (elves), stars in the most magical night of the year!
From the very beginning, the Manairons of the Guardia de Ares have made every effort to turn this day into a celebration of the collective imagination of the mountainous lands. The Tarter dels Manairons, created by these tiny yet powerful creatures of nature and located in the heart of the Obaga de la Guardia forest, is transformed into a legendary setting. Those who attend and experience it from the inside claim it is a night filled with magic and emotion.
The village of Guardia de Ares, located at an altitude of 1,600 meters—the second highest inhabited area in Catalonia—breathes legend in every corner. It is said that a young man from the village suffered the vengeance of a fearsome Pantian woman. Some claim that the treasure of the last Carlists is hidden in the Pi dels Lladres... And in Guardia de Ares, the Tarters dels Manairons become mysterious witnesses to the presence of these magical creatures of the valley. A fascinating place!
Don't miss it!
