Discover the “Crèma deth Taro”: An Unforgettable Tradition in Arties
On the night of June 23rd, the residents of the village of Arties hold a unique celebration known as the “Crèma deth Taro”. This festival is an unforgettable experience that forms part of the cultural heritage of the Aran Valley.
The “Taro” of Arties is a deeply rooted tradition that involves burning the trunk of a fir tree, which can grow up to 8 meters tall. This fir tree is felled a month before the festival and carefully prepared for burning.
On the appointed day, the log is set alight and dragged through the streets and squares of Arties. Music and the shouts of the onlookers, who jump over the flames, accompany the log throughout its journey.
Tradition says that the ashes of the Taro plant have a protective, purifying, and fertilizing effect, and that they ward off evil spirits. For this reason, they are scattered throughout the village.
The Crèma deth Tarò de Arties is part of the so-called Pyrenean Fallas, which were declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2015.

The route mostly follows the itinerary of the legendary Pedals de Foc. It passes through the regions of Val d’Aran, Alta Ribagorça, Pallars Jussà, and Pallars Sobirà in the Pyrenees of Lleida. In recent years, it has been the Spanish Championship of the discipline, and in 2017, it hosted the first European Championship of the discipline, repeating in 2018, 2019, and 2021. In 2020, it was canceled due to the COVID state of emergency.
For bikers who feel drawn to this WONDERFUL MADNESS but are not yet ready for the NONSTOP distance, the SILVER option returns—a 112 km route with 2,700 meters of positive elevation gain, starting in Torre de Capdella (Vall Fosca) and finishing in Vielha, Val d’Aran (Lleida).
