What MoTripo is

A tradition worth
crossing the world for.

Most trips start by choosing a destination and then looking for things to do there. We go the other way round: we choose one unique event that is worth travelling for and then plan the trip around its dates.

Not a destination guide. A reason to pick a destination.

The event is the purpose to travel

A flour battle in Ibi. A fire-walk in Soria. You don't choose a city and settle for what's on. You travel for a "motivo": to experience something different and unique in a place you might never have visited otherwise.

Real, not staged

Every tradition here would happen whether you showed up or not. Nobody performs it for visitors. That's precisely what makes being there worth the flight.

Inside it, not beside it

You're covered in flour, you walk on the embers, you're part of the crowd that makes it all happen. You come back with a trip you've truly lived, not one you've simply photographed.

A reason to go back or to discover somewhere new

A tradition can turn a city you thought you knew inside out into a whole new trip or give you a reason to visit a country you'd never have considered.

Don't pick a place.
Pick a motivo to go.

Let it take you somewhere you already "know" or somewhere you'd never have thought to go.
