Trobada del Canigo, Fillols, Pyrenees-Orientales, France

Bruno Marin and Ramon, organisers of the Trobada, and the mayor of Fillols (centre), in Fillols at the departure of the Trobada del Canigo, a ceremonial procession taking place annually on St John's Day from Fillols (and other villages) to the peak of Canigo, Pyrenees-Orientales, Occitanie, France. Accompanied by donkeys, people carry Catalan flags and vine sticks, in bundles labelled with their village, to light a fire on the summit in a celebration of Catalan tradition, resistance and identity.
