Sant Miquel

Sant Miquel

Sant Miquel is on 8th of May. Is a tipical traditional party of la Pobla de Segur. Sant Miquel it's the patron of Pobla.

Every year some people of Pobla went to Sant Miquel to distribute some bread for bless. At twelve o'clock the priest of Pobla preached and sang the "Goigs de Sant Miquel". Then the priest bless the bread. After that our people danced the tipical dance of Catalonia "La Sardana" and went to  turned a candle. The students of 4th d'eso made a bar to collected money.Then the people went to the old church for visited and after  people went to had lunch with friends, always in Sant Miquel. The tipical food of this party is paella, lamb, different meet and the bless bread and for a desert some ice creams, fruit... At six 0'clock my friends and I, went to the swim but at eight o'clock all the  people down Pobla and they went to had a party in "Plaça de l'Arbre" . Years ago, this party was religious, but now this party is religious from some people. 

In my opinion Sant MIquel is a great party  from la Pobla de Segur , because (*) is a religious party and (*) is  for all the ages . This party is great and private.
