I wish!
Some town/village websites are helpful, others are not.
I have even tried the tourist information centres in different towns, before now, and even they havn't been able to give much info. especially in advance.
Good luck. Maybe if you get info, you can pass it on to us, please.

This is also useful if you want to know when local 'fiestas' are as well ie when shops might be closed

Would help if you could read the info, listed on www.festacatalunya (calendar of Catalonia), Yellow writing!
O.K. the dates are in black writing.

Strange, I don't get any yellow writing when I view it on my laptop. Black writing on a white background mostly. A few of the headers are coloured but the main body of all the text is black on white. I've looked through all the sections too.

Does it happen for you on the whole website Rita? Anyone else getting mostly coloured writing?

Hi,
No, not the whole website, just when I used the link
www.festacatulunya.cat
then went onto Fairs, then onto Calendar of Catalonia.
Yellow writing, which is hardly legible.
And I havn't been drinking!

Ah, I see the bit you mean Rita. I don't have any problem reading it, maybe my contrast is different.

Or maybe you have better eyesight?

Possibly although I am blind in one eye.
