What does it involve

On Sunday, June 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., the Torrentfondo district will once again host the 18th edition of the traditional "Quatre Tombs" festival.

This year also marks the 25th anniversary of this tradition, which began in 2001 in the heart of Sant Llorenç d’Hortons through the initiative of Mr. Antonio Malet and the "Colla dels Vells Records".

What is included?

As is customary, the day will begin at 9:00 a.m. with the arrival of horse-drawn carriages and a community breakfast. Visitors will then be able to enjoy an exhibition of carts and carriages, some of which are genuine pieces of rural history and heritage. At 12:00 noon, the "Quatre Tombs" parade will begin, featuring the traditional procession of horses and carriages through the streets of the village, followed by the blessing of the animals, officiated by Father Jordi Tres.

Additional information

This is a unique opportunity to see historic vehicles such as the tartana, traditionally used to take elegantly dressed people to church, and the stagecoach, which once served as a messenger service between the village and the capital, transporting all kinds of goods.

Year after year, the "Quatre Tombs" festival remains a key event in the local festive calendar and a space for community gathering, remembrance and cultural dissemination, connecting past and present through respect for animals and popular traditions.
