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.

Let’s not beat about the bush: what we’re proposing here is reaching peaks, so there’s definitely some uphill effort involved. But hey, they’re perfectly manageable with a little effort, including for young kids of walking age. You’ll find that little mountains can also offer great panoramic views.

Are you thinking about heading to the Montseny area? Why not take a picnic there? Here you have five picnic areas in the Montseny Natural Park. You could combine your picnic with a hike or simply enjoy the lovely setting. Remember to dispose of all your litter in a rubbish container.

Skirting around the Foix Reservoir, this route is split into two stages: from Sant Sadurní d'Anoia to Sant Pere Molanta (very close to Vilafranca), and from there to Castellet i la Gornal. In addition to natural places of interest, the route also takes in jewels of cultural heritage such as the Monastery of Sant Sebastià and the Monumental Site of Olèrdola.

Reaching the top of a mountain always conveys a sense of accomplishment, of crossing the finish line or of achieving a goal. If that peak is also the highest in a region, one of the most beloved or one whose name is associated with legends or historical moments, then these feelings are even greater. Below we have compiled what we consider to be the most legendary peaks in the regions of Barcelona, all of which are worth visiting and attempting to climb.
