From all around Catalunya (including three towns in France) came les Amics des Gegantes. It seems that many towns have their own gegantes (Giant ‘puppet’ people) which are used in their local festas and the Amics visit each other. It was visiting day in Girona for the end of the Sant Narcis festival which began last Thursday, the 22nd. There is a lot more to be said about the whole affair but today was Giants day.
Pictured are the gegantes from Figueres, home of the Salvador Dali Museum. The central figure is a comic representation of the Tramuntana, the winds which can blow from the north for long periods and are said to drive people crazy. You know the fellow on the left.
