About This Event
The Gran Escudellada Popular d'Andorra la Vella in Valls (Catalonia, Spain), 2026 edition, was held on Sunday 8 March at El Pati from 13h. It offers a tasting area for escudella with music, and each attendee takes home a commemorative plate with a wooden spoon. It is part of the twinning between Valls and Andorra la Vella, organised by the Ajuntament de Valls, the Comú d'Andorra la Vella and the Confraria d'Escudellaires d'Andorra La Vella.
The cause
Part of the exchange of traditions between the twinned towns of Valls and Andorra la Vella.
History
The two towns have exchanged traditions since 1967, when friends on avinguda Meritxell in Andorra la Vella, celebrating Sant Antoni, offered escudella and carn d'olla to neighbours around their businesses, in a way reviving a centuries-old Sant Antoni tradition of sharing food among Andorrans of the parish. Because of the crowds, the celebration moved to the centre of Andorra la Vella, first to plaça Rebés and then to plaça del Poble, and the Confraria d'Escudellaires was formed, responsible for the Escudella de Sant Antoni d'Andorra la Vella. Fifty years on, the Escudellada is rooted in Andorra la Vella's festival calendar and, through the twinning, also in Valls.

Everything the announcement says
Every detail, as the festival announced it.
Gran Escudellada Popular d'Andorra la Vella, Valls, 2026. Category: food and drink.
Sunday 8 March, 13h, El Pati, Valls.
A new edition of the Gran Escudellada Popular d'Andorra la Vella: a day with a tasting area and music; attendees also take home a commemorative plate with a wooden spoon.
This twinning is part of the exchange of traditions the two towns have kept since 1967, when friends on avinguda Meritxell in Andorra la Vella celebrating Sant Antoni decided to celebrate around their businesses by offering escudella and carn d'olla to neighbours and fellow citizens. It was, in a way, the revival of a centuries-old tradition held for the feast of Sant Antoni, when food was shared among the Andorrans of the parish. Later, because of the crowds, the celebration moved to the centre of Andorra la Vella, first to plaça Rebés and then to plaça del Poble, and the Confraria d'Escudellaires was formed, responsible for the Escudella de Sant Antoni d'Andorra la Vella.
Fifty years later the Escudellada has become a firmly rooted tradition in Andorra la Vella's festival calendar and, through the twinning, also in Valls.
Time: from 13h.
Price: 7€ (includes escudella tasting, a commemorative ceramic plate, a wooden spoon, bread and wine).
