This festival commemorates the “Grito de Dolores,” the historic cry that sparked Mexico’s independence. Since 2005, it has established itself as a must-attend event for the Mexican community in Catalonia and for lovers of culture and popular celebrations.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

In Catalonia, and especially in Sant Joan de les Abadesses, this celebration takes on a cultural and festive character, with a deep respect for Mexican history and traditions. The fact that this town is the birthplace of Jaume Nun\u00f3, composer of the Mexican national anthem, further reinforces the special bond between the two cultures.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/santjoandelesabadesses.cat\/index.php\/ca\/la-vila\/noticies-vila\/4119-festa-cultura-i-tradicio-mexicana-a-la-festa-del-grito?idU=4&utm_source=newsletter_229&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=butlleti-cap-de-setmana-de-festa-del-grito-i-mercat-del-trasto” button_text=”See more” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
