The Víbria de Reus traveled to Barcelona last weekend to join the 425th anniversary celebrations of the Gegants del Pi, held as part of the Santa Eulàlia Festival.

This historic event brought together traditional figures documented as far back as 1601, a year that marks the first recorded reference to the Gegant del Pi during the canonization festivities of Saint Raymond of Penyafort.
The parade marched from Sant Josep Oriol Square to Sant Jaume Square, where participants such as the Mulassa de Tarragona and the Eagle of Mataró performed their traditional dances for the public.
