<p>Plaça Major in Vic</p>

It has been quite a few years (1931!) since Miquel Llor wrote Laura a la ciutat dels sants (Laura in the City of Saints), a successful novel set in Vic, a city that was renamed Comarquinal. Vic has changed a lot since then ... or perhaps not that much? The fog is still present on many days, and the iconic areas of the capital of Osona already attracted visitors: the Plaça Major, the cathedral, the streets in the centre ... A town steeped in history and heritage that is definitely worth visiting.

Pyrenean nature, charming villages, some 15 textile model villages and a delta that provides an oasis for peaceful birds, just a stone’s throw from aeroplanes. What links all these elements together? The Llobregat Path! It’s a fully signposted long-distance path stretching 170 km that can be enjoyed in hot and cold weather. It’s a great way to enjoy exploring one of Catalonia’s major rivers on foot or by bike, whichever you prefer. Here are some the stretches we recommend visiting.
