PECULIAR FESTIVAL IN LLEIDA
In Lleida city, this May 2013 Moorish troops led by Said Musa will reconquer the city to the Christian side led by the christian captain from the Urgell troops. This staging fights between Muslims and Christians is unique in Lleida for victory alternates, so one year the Moors win, and the next the Christians do it. Since the recovery of this celebration, eighteen years ago, the Moors and Christians wanted to be an example of respect and coexistence between cultures. This curious parade takes place after the notorious Festa Major (local festival) in Lleida, during the weekend of 18th and 19th May 2013. The location of the parade is Seu Vella, the beautiful cathedral that overlooks the city of Lleida from the hill.
Another strange but very dear tradition is the APLEC DEL CARGOL (Snail-eating Festival) in which groups of people gather together to have fun, drink, dance and above all, eat snails... and other foods that do not cause offense to eyes, brain or digestive juices. It is regarded as a Traditional Festival of National Interest. You can see the pictures (of the gatherings and the snails) HERE.
