Pa-tum Pa-tum Pa-tum – inside Berga’s wild medieval rave

Fire-breathing dragons, dancing giants, music, drums, fireworks… for five days every year thousands of people pack the narrow streets of Berga for a party like no other – La Patum

Guifré Jordan and Gerard Escaich Folch go along to witness the spectacle and chat to Cristina Urrea and Cristina Farràs from the Guita Grossa group, Xavi Prat, head of the Tabal drum group and Albert Rumbo, historian, and giant!

This week's Catalan phrase is 'Cada dia no és festa major', which means 'Not every day is a party', so enjoy it while it lasts! Presented by Lorcan Doherty.
