Description

The cycling race held in Sallent with the participation of Miquel Poblet, one of the great names in Catalan sport, is testimony to the presence and importance of sport in the local area. This event, graphically documented by Joan Lladó, reflects how sport became an element of social cohesion and collective identification in post-war Catalonia. In addition, the figure of Poblet connects the local area with the international sports scene, showing how Catalan towns actively participated in European sports culture. This document is part of the theme of “beats of Catalan society” and emphasizes the role of municipal archives in the preservation of sports and community memory.
