The town of Torroella de Montgrí hosted last Friday the conference “Ambaixades: La Història de les Penyes”, organised by the PB Montgrí i Comarca (Federació Empordà i Catalunya Nord) as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations. The presentation was given by Salva Torres, vice-president of the Confederació Mundial de Penyes, together with Aksana Vayevoda on the technical side. More than 50 people attended the event, headed by the president of the PB Montgrí i Comarca, Joan Casas, and the honorary president of the entity, Josep Sullastres.
The supporters showed great interest in the history of the penyes movement covered in this conference and demonstrated their good level of knowledge about all related with Barça. On this occasion, the event wanted to pay a special tribute to Joan Casals, popularly known as “l’Avi del Barça”, so it included the presentation of the book “L’Avi Joan” by its author, Jordi Monturiol.
