La Desarpa de Mordzëi: cattle parade

Cattle parade that returns to the valley in the central street of the village, a traditional event deeply felt by the local population.

After a long summer spent in the high mountain pastures, at the foot of the highest peaks in Europe, the cows return to their stables at the bottom of the valley. The transhumance of cattle represents an important moment in the life of the breeder, as well as a day of celebration to be shared with the entire population and tourists.
