Vilafranca: "Bunyolada" for the fiestas of Santa Bàrbara

The fiestas for Santa Bàrbara began today in Vilafranca with a lecture by Carlos Garrido about the interpretation of the "Magic Mallorca". The programme, including an varied choice of activities, will continue until December 8. This Saturday, there will be a popular dance with music by Vilafranquins and Música Nostra, and on Sunday, December 1, amongst other activities, there will be an excursion on foot and a mountain bike trip around the municipality. As for the cultural events, worth stressing are the two theatre performances by Teatre de Guerrilla and the Certamen de Cançó de Vilafranca that will take place in the Municipal Theatre.

The 'bunyolada', the most popular event of the Santa Bàrbara fiestas, will take place on Wednesday, December 4, the day of the patron saint. First at 8 p.m. will be the Mass with the traditional "Ball de l'Oferta" by the group Vilafranca Balla i Bota; afterwards there will be "bunyols" (airy doughnuts) for everyone, attended by the whole town.

The complete programme is available on the web of the Town Council.
