És fàcil parlar de sostenibilitat, però a vegades costa més portar-la a la pràctica. A l'hora de pensar en els plans pel cap de setmana o en una escapada més llarga pot ser que no sàpigues per on començar a buscar, per això avui t'oferim algunes de les millors propostes per practicar un turisme responsable al Vallès Oriental.

<p>Serra del Catllaràs</p>

Tardor, també dita rerevera, la fresca comença a omplir l'ambient i la llum declina cada jorn més prest. Són els dies en què molts arbres van despullant-se del fullam, o tinten les copes d'ocres i vermells. Sens dubte, un moment extraordinari per fer una visita als boscos, no només per caçar-hi bolets o recollir les castanyes que ja han caigut a terra, sinó per gaudir plenament d'un paisatge captivador, cromàticament insuperable. T'indiquem cinc d'aquests indrets fantàstics a les comarques de Barcelona. 

<p>Cripta Gaudí de la Colònia Güell </p>

Per fortuna, cada cop més persones gaudeixen dels plaers de la creació artística: formar-se, investigar, practicar, produir, difondre i exposar interessa a un bon grapat de gent de totes les edats, amb independència de gèneres, orientacions sexuals, recursos econòmics o nivells educatius. I ja ni tan sols és important viure a les grans capitals per rebre la visita de les muses! Les deesses que protegeixen el cant i la poesia, la dansa i la pintura, també van als pobles més petits, als boscos de roures i alzines, a les mansions elegants i a les esglésies de pedra integrades a la natura. No t'ho creus? Et presentem cinc racons de les comarques de Barcelona on l'art i la creativitat en són protagonistes.
