In L&#8217;Alta Ribagor\u00e7a, the Pyrenees conserve the essence of a thousand-year-old culture that has been passed down from generation to generation; it is the culture of a people who love every inch of their land and heritage. This is part of a country that has been favoured by the Gods; it is a land rich in Romanesque heritage and a dream-like natural setting, which the citizens of Alta Ribagor\u00e7a are incredibly proud of and which has forged a rural character that has resisted the passing of the centuries.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629975809590{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629975819882{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text] The journey It is possible to savour the intangible cultural heritage of L&#8217;Alta Ribagor\u00e7a at each festa de les falls (burning torch festival), at each fair, at each festa major (main local festival) which follows a programme inherited from antiquity, and at each dance. From the month of May onwards, the comarca (local district) is alive with the baixades de les falles (the descent of the burning torches), which is just one of these ancestral rites. These are festivities that strengthen the bonds between young people and their parents, grandparents and ancestors, in a choreography that goes arm in arm with the fire that marks their commitment to the comarca and to its people. In the dark of the Ribagor\u00e7a night, people are purified by the fire that they have inherited from the Pyrenees and which their elders have shown them how to love and respect. Each village welcomes its visitors in its own way, on nights to remember. Durro, Senet, Barruera, Bo\u00ed, Cas\u00f3s, El Pont de Suert, Vilaller, Erill la Vall, Ta\u00fcll and Llesp are all set alight with emotion at a festival that has bound them to this land for evermore.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635238870381{margin-bottom: 14px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] Not to be missed [\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630054455050{margin-top: 4px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635166356322{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 13px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635238882933{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 3px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;impresc&#8221;]Falles: the Fire Festival. From the first fortnight in June, at Durro, Senet, Barruera, Bo\u00ed, Cas\u00f3s, El Pont de Suert, Vilaller, Erill la Vall, Ta\u00fcll and Llesp.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_column_text]The comarca also seduces its visitors by day, when they sit down to eat. The families of L&#8217;Alta Ribagor\u00e7a have remained loyal to their livestock farming and culinary traditions and offer their visitors an inherited basket of food products marked by the quality of work done well. The valleys enjoy showing both local people and visitors their best heads of cattle and meat and dairy products at the local fairs which, as if following a sacred calendar, are held in each village on an annual basis. At the end of September, Barruera invites everyone to its Fira del Bestiar (Cattle Fair), so that they can admire the livestock, buying and selling the best examples, as they have done all their lives. It is also possible to learn to carve objects by hand and to take part in the handicraft exhibition of the Pyrenees. On the third Sunday in October, it is El Pont de Suert that invites visitors to discover and taste its most appreciated gastronomic treasure, at the Fira de la Girella (Cured Lamb Sausage Fair). There, a programme of activities teaches people how to make this cured sausage, which is a product of the local passion for lamb, and enjoy eating it in the best of settings: surrounded by an exhibition of local traditions and commerce. At the beginning of November, Vilaller becomes the centre of the comarca, with the Fira de Tots Sants (All Saints Fair), which is the oldest of those held in L&#8217;Alta Ribagor\u00e7a. Visitors can walk through an exhibition of cattle and enjoy the emotion of a Pyrenean brown cow contest, while they enjoy the best girelles. This is an authentic journey to the very soul of the comarca.\u00a0 \u00a0 The route that takes in traditional meeting places includes a very special date with the Festa de la Confraria de Sant Sebasti\u00e0 (Festival of the Brotherhood of St Sebastian) of El Pont de Suert, which dates from 1503 and remains one of the great manifestations of popular intangible cultural heritage in the comarca. On 19th, 20th and 21st January, families are busy renewing their vows to Sant Sebasti\u00e0 at a festival that combines a love of good food, social gatherings, and dishes that have been handed down from older generations, such as lamb stew, meat hotpot, bread soups, vianda and the essential freginat. These are three days simply bursting with Pyrenean culture.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;6\/12&#8243;][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1630056473450{margin-top: 6px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;9\/12&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1629982630107{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1635238894496{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-right: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 3px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;border-right-width: 0px !important;border-bottom-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 8px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 8px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;background-color: #ededed !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;impresc&#8221;]Fira del Bestiar (Livestock Fair) of Barruera.
