The Campdevànol City Council has launched two initiatives to recover the historical memory of the 'pubillatge' tradition in the Ripollès region, coinciding with the preliminary events for the 2026 National Pubillatge Competition.

Local businesses in Campdevànol have been transformed into a living history gallery thanks to the collaboration of Campdevànol Comerç. Their shop windows display old and recent photographs of the region's 'hereus' (heirs) and 'pubilles' (traditional representatives), offering a visual journey through the generations who have represented this tradition.
In parallel, the official channels and social media of the City Council will broadcast a series of short videos. In these audiovisuals, former 'hereus' and 'pubilles' from Campdevànol share their experiences, anecdotes, and the significance of representing the municipality in their own words.
The municipal institution particularly thanks the public's participation, the generous donation of personal photographs, magazine clippings, and documentary funds, as well as the time dedicated by former representatives to the interviews.
