About Patum de Berga
The Patum de Berga (Catalan pronunciation: [pəˈtum də ˈβeɾɣə]), or simply La Patum, is a popular and traditional festival that is celebrated each year in the Catalan city of Berga (Barcelona) during Corpus Christi, typically between late May and late June. It consists of a series of "dances", called salts, by townspeople carrying mystical and symbolic figures and accompanied either by the rhythm of a drum—the tabal, whose sound gives the festival its name—or band music. The salts are marked by their solemnity and their ample use of fire and pyrotechnics.
