Patum\u00a0is a festival where the senses and feelings predominate, with different melodies the “patumaires” dance with the groups:
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Tabal is the harbinger of the party
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Turcs i Caballets is one of the oldest dance party
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Maces represent the eternal struggle between good and evil
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Angels represent good fighting evil
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Guites are the most primitive elements of the Patum
\n<\/span>\u2022 The \u00c0liga dances the most majestic and appreciated dance
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Nans Vells are figures with tricorn hats and castanets
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Giants defeated former Muslim leaders
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Nans Nous four festive characters and misshapen
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Plens is the apotheosis of the party
\n<\/span>\u2022 The Tirabol gives the final point of the Patum<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, 2017, for the first time, a draw was made to be able to jump as a Ple. There were doubts about the risk it could pose to the safety of the Patum that this year could skip people without experience or, which is still much worse: without a credited companion and expert knowledge of how a full jump is developed, one of the Moments of maximum risk of the celebration. The jump takes about three minutes and 100 people are dressed in demons with 9 petards (6 in the head and 3 in the tail), with more than 5,000 people accompanying them in the square of Sant Pere to dance to the rhythm of music.<\/p>\n

The companion is a key figure in a full jump. It is the eyes of the saltador who, stuffed inside the frog and the tight carota, just has to breathe and move when it’s time to jump. A good companion must guide the jumper and must avoid crushing it and getting it back in the square.\u00a0\"Patum-ple\"<\/p>\n
