La Bisbal d'Empordà will be the hub for the Flame's distribution in Baix Empordà. A team of volunteers will collect the fire from the summit of Canigó and transport it to the region, covering nearly 160 kilometers by bicycle. The initial route will include stops in Ultramort, La Pera, Cassà de Pelràs, and La Bisbal d'Empordà itself, from where it will be redistributed to towns like Palamós, Begur, Jafre, and Sant Sadurní de l'Heura.
Concurrently, other teams will bring the Flame to municipalities such as Sant Feliu de Guíxols, which will receive it directly from Coll d'Ares. Other towns like La Tallada d'Empordà, Verges, Bellcaire d'Empordà, L'Estartit, Torroella de Montgrí, and Pals will receive it from Northern Catalonia.
In many of these municipalities, popular activities have been organized for the eve, including parades with percussion groups, cultural performances, readings of the Flame's manifesto, and bonfire lighting.
In Palamós, the Flame's arrival will coincide with the Festa Major events. In Begur, a parade will be held to the Town Hall. In La Bisbal d'Empordà, the reception will include the Dracs (dragons) and a parade to the bonfire. In Sant Feliu de Guíxols, the Percussió Ganxona will accompany the events.
The organization is supported by Òmnium Cultural Baix Empordà, which collaborates with the fire teams to keep this tradition alive for years.
The Flame of Canigó, a tradition linked to the summer solstice revived in the sixties, mobilizes thousands of people in Catalan-speaking territories. The fire is renewed annually at the summit of Canigó and distributed to light the Sant Joan bonfires.
