Image of Santa Oliva, not of the place itself.

The Festa Major de Santa Oliva (Baix Penedès, Tarragona) has its origin in the Vot del Poble: the town made this vow to the Mare de Déu del Remei after being spared from the cholera epidemic that severely struck Vilanova i la Geltrú in 1854. Since then, this vow has been observed on the last Thursday of August, giving rise to the town's main festival.
