The Aplec del Cargol is

A high number of events take place at the same time in different parts of the city during the whole weekend, which means there is always something happening during the Snail Festival. For instance, the castellera display by Els castellers de Lleida on saturday 23 may at 19:oo hour inside the Park named ELS CAMPS ELISIS. Over 200.000 visitors are expected to go to Lleida for this event.
