<p>Fira Medieval i Festa de la Sal de Cardona</p>

One of the most typical ways to relive the Middle Ages in Catalonia and Barcelona is to explore their vast Romanesque and Gothic heritage. But you may not know about the many mediaeval fairs that can be enjoyed throughout the year in several towns close to Barcelona.

<p>Montesquiu Castle</p>

The mixture of past and present is the main attraction of Osona, a region that glitters with its own light right in the heart of Catalonia. This mountain-ringed plain has been home to Bishops and shepherds, bandits and Lords, and the echo of their stories can still be heard. If you want to listen closely, come and visit! Now is the time to revive their memory.

<p>Railway Museum</p>

Do you know where the things we consume every day come from? Do you know how they’re made or done, and by whom? How is the copper wire that brings electricity into our homes manufactured? How does water reach our taps? Where does the cement used to build your home come from? How about the clothes you wear and the spaghetti you eat? Six museums in the counties of Barcelona explain the inner workings of everyday things. Is your curiosity piqued??
