The Esplai Safa of Manresa is keeping the Caramelles tradition alive this weekend, with 50 children and young people participating in musical and dance performances throughout the city.

Between Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5, a group of 50 children and young people from Esplai Safa will tour Manresa to celebrate the Caramelles, a deeply rooted tradition in Central Catalonia. This initiative aims to fill the streets with color and joy, marking the beginning of spring and wishing everyone a happy Easter.
The participants, dressed for the occasion, will perform popular songs such as La Puntaire and Com que avui és festa, with the goal of sharing their passion for this festivity. The performances will take place in a dozen locations, including medical centers and elderly care residences, as well as public squares.

Caramelles is a deeply rooted tradition in Central Catalonia. For many years, Esplai Safa has contributed its bit to keep it alive by joining in dancing and singing through the streets, medical centers, and residences of Manresa.

The itinerary for Saturday, April 4, includes Residència La Font (4:00 PM), Hospital Sant Andreu (5:00 PM), Plaça Major (6:00 PM), Plaça Europa (7:00 PM), and Parròquia de la Sagrada Família (10:30 PM). On Sunday, April 5, performances will continue at Residència Montblanc (9:45 AM), the Sagrada Família neighborhood elderly residence (10:45 AM), and in front of the Parròquia de la Sagrada Família (11:40 AM).
Esplai Safa, with over 50 years of history, is a leisure center that welcomes children aged 6 to 18 weekly. Six years ago, the entity integrated into the Esplai movement, no longer belonging to the Mijac movement.
