The Patacades of Cadaqués is a popular corranda dance where participants hold hands in a circle. A main singer performs rhymed, satirical songs commenting on local events. Dancers repeat the chorus and traditional steps, concluding with the “garrotades,” where they exchange friendly taps.
“"We want to reclaim the identity of the 'salat' language, the culture, and the idiosyncrasy of Cadaqués heritage, as it is fading away."
The competition, held on Tuesday, was organized in collaboration with the “Llops de mar solidaris” project, a charity calendar featuring photos by José Ignacio Piris, benefiting the Cadaqués Residence Hospital. A jury, including Dionís Baró, evaluated the proposals submitted via social media to select the three winning entries.
President Eva Daniel emphasized that the initiative aims for diffusion and involvement of younger generations. The Patacades are defined as “the voice of the people, expressed satirically and humorously,” allowing for local criticism “always with grace.”
