The city of Manresa is hosting the 29th Fira de l'Aixada this weekend, turning its historic center into a vibrant medieval market with 14th-century reenactments.

Other highlights include the Carnival in Artés, the FineArt photography festival in Igualada, and the Mercat Figueter in Capellades. Montserrat also continues its millennium celebrations with the Lux Splendens light show.
