MONTBLANC 2012

The medieval fair of Montblanc is, for me, the best one in Catlonia. All the citizens take part on it. It's managed by people of the city, not by the town hall, and that's a very interesting thing because therefore all the town take part on it. When children are young they are dressed like jesters, next year they'll have a drum and will play it around the fair.... etc. The implication of the citizens is the best goal that a medieval fair (and a lot of other fairs) can arrive.

The town of Montblanc is where they say that St. Jordi killed the dragon. It's circled by a big medieval wall that makes the environment perfect. The stands are in little streets, concentrated inside and around the wall, and all the day you can find actors in the street, or jesters, actuations of medieval fight...

They make a fair of 5 days, with night parties for the young people, actuations for the tourists, and, the most important thing, the participation of a lot of population. All of it is managed for a  group of men and women that haven't any relationship with the city hall more far that the quote. Also, they manage it more well that a lot of other medieval fairs of Catalonia.

I think the only important thing, but, is the suport and colaboration of the town, they love the medieval fair and they help to make it improve, beucause are they who made it, not others who only think in money and interests.
