Today is a historic day if we take into account the date -11/11/11- but regardless of the uniqueness of the date this year, the festival of Saint Martin of Tours is also celebrated, deeply rooted in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Austria in which the little ones parade with a paper lantern to illuminate their journey and end with the blessing of human-shaped buns –Weckmänner- next to a bonfire.

The children have an appointment at 18:30 p.m. in Llunàtics to go through the tunnel of the Castle to the Plaza del Consell, where they will be received by San Martín on horseback, who will join them to complete the route through Diana, Marqués de Campo, Cándida Carbonell and Plaza del Convento streets. Once at your destination, the blessing and distribution of the Weckmänner and lighting of the bonfire next to the church of San Antonio.
