It honors Saint Anthony, the patron saint of animals, and takes place around January 17th. The festival features parades, bonfires, and the blessing of animals, where pets and livestock are brought to be blessed by local priests. During the festivities, locals often participate in lively activities, including music, dancing, and traditional food. The event is marked by the lighting of large bonfires, known as fogueres, which symbolize purification and the arrival of spring. The Festa de Sant Antoni fosters community spirit and cultural heritage.
