Saturday, November 7, 2026.- Farmers from thirteen municipalities in Baix Llobregat—Martorell, el Papiol, Molins de Rei, Sant Vicenç dels Horts, Sant Boi de Llobregat, Viladecans, Corbera de Llobregat, Vallirana, Torrelles de Llobregat,Sant Climent de Llobregat, Santa Coloma de Cervelló, Begues, and Gavà—made their 84th annual pilgrimage to l’Abadia de Montserrat.
Early in the morning, each town displayed a basket in the square in front of the monastery, featuring local produce and seasonal fruit. The baskets were blessed by Fr. Joan M. Mayol, monk of Montserrat and rector of the sanctuary, before the 450 participants of the Baix Llobregat pilgrimage.
Afterward, the group attended the Conventual Mass, where they read a passage and presented an offering of produce to Our Lady of Montserrat. Next, they were received by Br. Jordi Puigdevall, prior of Montserrat, in the Sala de la Façana of the monastery.
Finally, they danced sardanes in the square, accompanied by music from the Cobla Sitgetana, and rounded off the day with a celebratory fellowship lunch at the Montserrat restaurant.
The purpose of this annual visit is to thank Our Lady for "the protection, gifts, and graces we have received," the peasants noted. Produce that "represents the effort of our daily work and stands as an acknowledgment of our trust in You and our affection."
