Catalan

Catalan folklore, rooted in the northeastern region of Spain, intertwines medieval chivalric traditions and local pagan beliefs. Beasts like the Drac de Sant Jordi and the Dip embody a mix of Christian and folkloric themes, symbolizing the battle between good and evil or the mysteries of the natural world. The height of Catalan mythology flourished during the medieval period (10th–15th centuries), when oral storytelling and troubadours shared these tales. Mythical creatures often represented moral lessons, nature's forces, or supernatural guardians. Today, these stories endure in festivals like La Diada de Sant Jordi, where dragons and heroes are celebrated, reflecting the enduring pride and cultural identity of the Catalan people.
