What's the story:

What about participating in a collective water battle? In Morell, every year during the local festivity in honor of Saint Abdó and Saint Senén, protectors of the farmers, the villagers remember the fight against the worm of wood that took place in the decade of 1970 to protect the hazels. With their machines loaded with water, everybody is splashed, as the farmers did years ago to fight against the worm.

It’s a fantastic show presented by Embruix. It starts with the birth of worms and butterflies culminating with the water fight where the wood worm dies.

Giants, castles, cow runs, local dances and fire works complement this big party.

A funny way to refresh yourselves.
