Molins de Rei Candelaria Fair

The tradition of Candlemas is not limited to religious sentiment, but extends into various aspects of Catalan society, with gastronomy playing a prominent role. This festival, celebrated in Molins de Rei, is a perfect example of how popular culture blends with religious traditions.

Declared a Traditional Festival of National Interest in 2002, the Candelaria Fair offers a wide range of activities that attract visitors of all ages. Among the highlights is a tasting of a diverse selection of wines and cavas, accompanied by various food products. This combination allows attendees to enjoy the region's rich gastronomy, which includes traditional dishes and high-quality local products.

One of the most emblematic dishes that can be tasted during the fair is the typical muleteer's breakfast, known as Coradella. This traditional dish, a staple of rural life, is an example of how local gastronomy remains alive and is passed down from generation to generation.

In Molins de Rei, the celebration is particularly vibrant, with activities including music, dance, and exhibitions that reflect the local culture. The fair is not only an opportunity to enjoy the local cuisine but also to discover the traditions and customs that have shaped the history of this town.
