Five weekend plans in the Girona region
Witches Fair in Llers, Jordi Puig in Figueres, Cándida in Torroella de Montgrí, Beer Fair in La Bisbal and Mònica Campdepadrós in Calonge
Llers summons the witches
PLACE: Llers (Alt Empordà) / DATE: October 25 and 26
Hazte Bruja, in Llers, is the meeting point for all the witches of the Empordà. Carles Fages de Climent published the poetry collection The witches of LlersIllustrated with drawings by Salvador Dalí, he himself explained that he tried to get the people of Lleida to tell him about witches, but to no avail. The solution was to draw on legends circulating in the region that could very well be true... You'll find an esoteric fair, talks, witches' dances, dramatized tours, and even a workshop and a broom-throwing contest.
Jordi Puig, the one-man band of the image
PLACE: Empordà Museum / DATE: until March 29
With the ambiguous title of Jordi Puig No is a photographer A retrospective of this self-taught and unclassifiable artist born in Barcelona but based in Lladó is presented. He is just as likely to be photographing all the residents of his town, mustachioed men, and Empordà landscapes, as he is to be designing books, founding a publishing house, and becoming mayor of his town. The opening of the exhibition, which covers his creations between 1991 and 2025, will take place on Saturday at 12 noon. He has published more than 80 books.
