Andorra's Witchcraft Days Fifth Edition Packs Festivals with Workshops and Performances

The fifth edition of Andorra's Witchcraft Days continues with a packed schedule of workshops, performances, talks, and exhibitions across the Principat, spotlighting women's stories and traditions.

In Sant Julià de Lòria, Clariana's performance *El secret del sol* takes place at noon in the Casa Comunal, drawing on Pyrenean symbols and magical creatures for a voyage that summons the sun and revives the world's colours. At 6pm in Sala Sergi Mas, the company stages *Dones de flors i herbes*, reviving a script by dramatist Agustí Franch that was shelved after its initial commission two years ago; the team refined it collaboratively to build a shared creative world. A workshop on expectorant syrups and honeys, led by Les Ben Plantades using Mediterranean herbal knowledge, runs at 5pm in the same venue. From 10am to 1pm, the Biblioteca del Centre Cultural Lauredià hosts a *Viquimarató sobre bruixes* to document Andorran women accused of witchcraft and add their histories to Wikipedia.

Ordino hosts Martín Blanco's talk *El que sembla i el que és* at 7pm in the Museu Casa d’Areny-Plandolit, linking 19th-century esotericism to the Areny-Plandolit family. An International Women’s Day concert featuring female voices honouring ABBA runs from 5pm to 9pm at Cota 1.300 in Plaça La Closa.

La Massana's Vibrand Music blends funk, disco, rock, pop, and soul at 9pm in Hotel Sant Gothard. The Biblioteca Comunal Antoni Morell shows *Imatges sense fronteres* until March 31, with landscapes by Associació Fotogràfica Valls del Nord.

Encamp offers the musical *Alícia al vaixell de les meravelles* at 5pm in the Sala de Fetes, weaving tales of journeys and change. At 11am in the Biblioteca Comunal, Sandra Miralles discusses *Dones i ciència-ficció*, probing how sci-fi figures in literature and cinema influence today's imagination.

Andorra la Vella features *Bruixanteris* for children at 5pm and 6:30pm in the Teatre Comunal, following a witch raising a girl through nature and magic lessons. International Women’s Day events at the Centre de Congressos include a noon talk on *Cuidar-nos amb consciència* and a 1pm yoga session *Les 4 fases del cicle de la dona*. *L’univers de la Maite* by Maite Bernet, displaying prints, jewellery, ceramics, and enamels, remains at Centre Cultural la Llacuna until March 26.

Canillo's Comú presents its parish tourism strategy at 7pm in the Auditori del Palau de Gel.
