Out in the flat rice-growing country of the Ebro delta, Sant Jaume d'Enveja throws its biggest week of the year around 25 July, the feast of its patron saint. This is a proper village affair rather than a tourist set-piece: parades, decorated floats, communal meals laid out on long tables, and open-air dances that run late into the warm delta nights.

The part you'll likely remember is the bull running. In this corner of Catalonia they're mad for the correbous, where bulls are loosed through barricaded streets and the young lads test their nerve. It's loud, a touch chaotic, and not for everyone. Turn up, eat what the locals eat, and let the week carry you along. Bring a sense of humour and decent shoes.
