Joan Pipa, a transhumant shepherd from the Ripollès since age 5: 'every day I take the flock out is a holiday'.

Joan Pipa, transhumant shepherd
Vallfogona de Ripollès, 1937

Joan “Pipa” Piella was born in 1937, in the midst of the Civil War, in Vallfogona de Ripollès. At just five years old, he began transhumance with his uncle, and he repeated it every year until his retirement.

The journey went from Port de la Selva to Ogassa: they always left on Saint John's Day and returned on Saint Michael's Day. He spent every summer of his life in the Gran Jaça, alongside his flock and the landscape.

Pipa knows the paths, plants, and animals of the forest like no other, as well as the entire network of shepherds from that era. He is one of those people who carry a whole world within them.

Filmmaker Christophe Farnarier accompanied him on his last transhumance before retirement. From that journey came "El somni" (The Dream), a beautiful film that took Pipa beyond rural life: he appeared on the back cover of La Vanguardia, on Albert Om's show, and even on APM?. On the day of the premiere in Barcelona, he fainted: it was only the second time he had visited the city. The first had been on his honeymoon. The documentary also inspired the show CRUI, by the Orquestra de Músiques d’Arrel de Catalunya.

He himself says he has never taken a day off because he "celebrates every day when he takes his flock of sheep out to graze." Pipa is in love with the life of a shepherd and has needed nothing more to feel like a lucky man.

Check your chest, shoulders and height. If they point to different sizes, choose the larger one so it is not tight across the shoulders or short in the body or sleeves.

How to measure

How to measure

  1. Chest: measure around the widest part of your torso (chest or stomach, whichever is larger), keeping the tape level and not too tight.
  2. Shoulders: the distance between the two shoulder bones (the acromion, the bony bumps you can feel at the very top of your shoulders, where your arms begin). Not the full width between your arms.
  3. Height: barefoot, standing straight.
