Fire Path, Taüll

How to reach the faro of Taüll

The faro of Taüll is located at Torresplanes, at an altitude of 1,773 metres, above the Esvomegada de Sarrado. The route begins after the last buildings of Taüll, situated at 1,536 metres, on the road to Pla de l’Ermita.

A steep path climbs up to the faro, offering one of the finest panoramic views of the Vall de Boí and its Romanesque heritage ensemble.

The falla and the tradition

In Taüll, a black pine is planted as the faro, dragged with ropes from the Serra de Casesnoves. After dinner, the fallaires light their falles and descend in an orderly way to the village.

On arrival, the musicians play the march and three rounds are made through the streets. The typical falla is the rentiner, made with an inserted pine torch, and can weigh more than 15 kg.
