Young people ring the bells of their village, Pinell de Brai (Terres de l’Ebre, Catalonia), the day before the romiatge (annual short pilgrimage) to the hermitage of Santa Magdalena.
Every year, groups of young locals come to the church belltower to ring the bells on this day. They start at noon and last until 10 pm, then the next day they start again at 6 am until the romiatge starts. Different groups show up, with no previous organization, and take turns during all that time.
This day, the bells are ringed by doing full circles on themselves.
