An ‘aplec’, Catalan for a gathering or mass meeting, traditionally used to involve a religious pilgrimage to a chapel or a hermitage, usually on a Saint’s day or religious festival when the heavens were likely to be at their most receptive!

Today the term is also used for more popular get-togethers such as the meeting of dancers to perform the sardane.
