Santa Tecla
When: Normally 3rd week in Sept - ( 20th - 23rd September 2007)
Where: Sitges
This festival is a smaller version of the Fiesta Mayor! It is a big event for Sitgeans with Church of Santa Tecla forming the backdrop of the key events. Although the celebrations last for a full week in nearby Tarragona, most of the visitors to that town head on in to Sitges on the very last day.
Expect lots of noisey fireworks and more of those crazy castellers as they make taller and taller human towers. All the while mythical Catalan characters dance their way through the town in a full traditional folkloric procession which includes the Bull, Dragon, Devil, Giant and Turk Dances.
