<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.

<p>Magna Celebratio. Festival romà de Badalona</p>

A legacy with over 2,000 years of history. There is still plenty of evidence of the splendour of the Roman Empire in the regions of Barcelona: Roman cities and villas that show us what day-to-day life was like under the Romans. Their vast legacy is reflected in unique archaeological sites, museums and festivities.
