The Bear festivities take place every winter in five villages in the Pyrenees mountain range located in Andorra and France. During the event, young men dress up as bears and run through the streets trying to catch participants. Although the style varies from one village to the next, the scenario remains the same and symbolizes the rebirth of spring and the relationship between humans and nature. Uniting thousands of people from the region, the centuries-old event constitutes an opportunity for local populations to celebrate their shared heritage.
