Fira de Sant Andreu de la Llacuna & Matança del Porc

The Fira de Sant Andreu de la Llacuna has been celebrated since 1337, when Alfonso III granted La Llacuna the right to host the fair by royal privilege. The fair has been held (almost) uninterrupted since then and has become a festive autumn day where you can enjoy a day in the countryside.

All morning long local artisans offer their goods throughout the streets and plazas of the village highlighting artisanal work, manufacturing and local specialties. The main event—matança del porc (literally “pig slaughter”)—takes place in the Plaça Major. What once was the communal practice of butchering livestock that brought together family, neighbors and friends, has changed over the years. Now local butchers and farmers gather together to make fresh botifarra in the square and then grill them up for hearty breakfast sandwiches served up with allioli and local wine. Breakfast starts at 8:30 and tickets for the breakfast are sold in advance, so make sure you get yours before heading out if you want to partake.
