On Saturday 26th July a ceremony was held on the bridge between the two halves of Catalonia (Spain and France), to celebrate the opening of the bridge 30 years ago. The bridge was first mooted a hundred years previously ! but the wheels of power ground slowly ! Politicians from both sides, gave speeches in the middle of the bridge, the road being closed for the occasion. The event was well attended and festivities continued with dancing and a communal meal.
On the 15th of December the traditional Christmas meal for the elderly took place at the village restaurant.
The meal was followed by a speech by the mayor then singing and music as well as a sharing of memories and much good humour.
