Sant Esteve de Palautordera: Cycling Routes, Ball de gitanes and Clown Art

In Sant Esteve de Palautordera, two named routes run through the area: the Ruta bici blava and the Ruta bici blanca. Both have their own names but remain connected to the local area.

Cycling

The Ruta bici blava is a circular route. Its views take in the Montseny Massif and the Tordera Plain. When planning a cycling tour, both the circular format and the named landscapes provide specific reference points for this route.

The Ruta bici blanca is fully paved. It runs mostly separately from the road and follows the middle course of the Tordera River. Its route has a gentle downhill gradient. Anyone planning this route can directly incorporate the paved surface, its largely separate alignment from road traffic and the gradient into their own route planning.

Sant Esteve de Palautordera therefore offers named cycling routes with different described features: the Ruta bici blava is presented as a circular route with views of the massif and plain, while the Ruta bici blanca is described in terms of its paving, distance from the road, river course and gradient.

Culture

The Ball de gitanes was revived during the 1980 Carnival celebrations in Sant Esteve de Palautordera. It has continued through to the present day. Its timeline therefore extends from its revival at Carnival in 1980 to its continued presence today.

On Carnival Sunday, the Ball de gitanes includes a procession. This procession visits the homes of people who take part in it. The participating people therefore explicitly belong to the households visited along the procession route. Live music is a prerequisite for the Ball de gitanes and is one of its stated conditions.

For planning around the Ball de gitanes, Carnival Sunday is the specifically named day. The procession and its visits to the homes of participating people are assigned to this date.

Events

The Festival Internacional de Pallasses takes place on several streets and at various locations in Sant Esteve de Palautordera.

It is designed as an annual gathering. This gathering serves as an opportunity for exchange and reflection for women who have made clowning their life path. The annual format, exchange and reflection together form the event format described.

The festival is aimed at women with a particular connection to clowning: specifically, women who have made it their life path. The festival includes performances featuring international artists. An international group of artists therefore takes part in these performances.

For planning a festival visit, the annual format, the venues on several streets and at various locations, and the performances featuring international artists are identified as specific event details.
