This year's celebration saw 26 tons of candy thrown to the crowds in Gràcia, Sarrià, and la Bordeta. Most of the sweets provided this year were soft candies, a new preference for the 21 groups participating in the event.
“"In 41 years, I have only missed one Sant Medir."
Participating in the tradition requires a significant investment. Each romeu spends between 600 and 700 euros on average to cover the costs of horses, vehicles, and the large quantities of candy distributed during the parade.
