The city of Sabadell has commemorated the 50th anniversary of the Romeria dels Ballesteros, a celebration that has kept its cultural tradition alive since 1976.

The event, which has become a key date in the local calendar, recalls the origins of this festival when a group of residents from San Sebastián de los Ballesteros decided to bring the essence of their hometown's pilgrimages to the capital of the Vallès Occidental.
Over these five decades, the celebration has evolved to become a symbol of shared identity. Music and dance, particularly sevillanas, were the highlights of a day that brought together many attendees to celebrate the endurance of this cultural legacy.
