About twenty women from the association have made the 20 by 20 centimeter squares since the summer, when the idea of ​​crocheting a Christmas tree for Salou began to take shape.

The tree has been installed in Calle Ponent de Salou, in the old town of the capital of the Costa Daurada, it has been lit up in a festive event that has included children's workshops, the performance of Salou's singer Anna Tena, while the artist and illustrator Montse Bernaus painted a watercolor in situ with the fir as the protagonist. The party was completed with a popular chocolate bar.

The event was attended by the mayor Pere Granados, accompanied by councilor Julia Gómez and councilor Hèctor Maiquez, who pressed the button for the magical moment of ignition, together with the president of the Salou Women's Group, Sílvia Rovira.
