There are few places in Catalonia, where customs and traditions are maintained, as in Tossa de Mar. Each month brings events to their roots in the local Catalan past bear. This is also a legend that continues to shape the present day Tossa.
Tossa more revered saint in whose honor a festival, a parade or a Aplec , a kind of friendly meeting with the Catalonian Sardana dance , has occurred, but one of the Saints has a special role: Sant Ramon de Penyafort , who in 1236 entered the ground Tossa. On the way to Barcelona, he was on the beach Mar Menuda , the little sea, stopping to make a dying man in the last minutes of his life to assist. You can still see a cross in the rock, which is to commemorate the event.
But the legend lives in Tossa not only in the memories of many, for every 23rd January, at the beach will be a High Mass, in honor of the Holy is read. Who attends this show understands the importance of the Catalan language to the inhabitants of Tossa and how far back their roots. Stranger might want someone with them, have them translated the text of the sermon and give them the whole story of the Holy closer.
