The pilgrimage to the chapel of Sant Joan d’Arròs on the first Sunday of May opens the season of pilgrimages in the Val d’Aran, which takes place throughout the spring and summer, ending on 20 September with the pilgrimage of the Mair de Diu des Bahns de Tredòs.
This Catholic tradition consists of the pilgrimage of the villagers to a nearby sanctuary or chapel, where a saint or virgin is found. Once there the term is blessed, people and animals and ends with a small popular festival.
One of the most popular is the Montgarri pilgrimage, which is held on 2 July. Throughout the day there are cheese offerings, a concert, traditional dances, a popular meal, mass and a dance with orchestra.
