From a high vantage point, overlooking vast expanses, you get a unique double feeling: on the one hand, you feel important while taking in so much space with your gaze; on the other, you realise how small human beings are in the immensity of nature. Be it as it may, it is a joy for the senses to glimpse the endless colours, plains and mountains that bring the region to life. Here are six prime places to enjoy panoramic views.

Anoia is a region with a wide diversity of local products such as chick peas from Alta Anoia, arròs paperer (rice and meat stew), the tasty botifarra sausages from Calaf, the thousand flower honey and olive oil. The range of products grown and produced in the region is rich and diverse and, in some cases, little known. Discover the essence of Anoia's gastronomy by taking a journey through its most prized flavours.

L'Anoia és una comarca per redescobrir, i la millor forma, és fer-ho caminant. El seu paisatge encara agrícola convida a la calma i a mirar l'horitzó. Deixa't impressionar per les seves torres i castells i ressegueix la història dels seus protagonistes. Et proposem tres rutes aptes per a tota la família, si esteu acostumats a caminar. 

Between Vallès and Maresme lies the Serralada Litoral (coastal range), a protected area between large city centres. An ideal place to breathe in some fresh air, exercise and enjoy the stunning views over the sea and the Maresme region. We suggest two routes between the inland and the beach, i.e. between Vallès and Maresme, to contemplate the blue horizon.

Muleteers, ragpickers, stampers, weavers, tanners, potters, paper makers... The world has changed so much over the last hundred years that we sometimes forget that there didn’t use to be app developers, community managers or drone operators. Fortunately, there’s is an extremely effective antidote to such ignorance and forgetfulness! The museums that tell us about the jobs of our grandparents and help us understand who we are and where we come from.

If you long for real bread, the kind made with artisanal methods, local flours and sourdough, we have to tell you that you can still find it in places like the Lluçanès region. This is a land with its own identity, halfway between the Plain of Vic and Berguedà. It has a dynamic farming activity where food isn’t manufactured, it’s made! The Bread and Wheat Route will delight you, whether you’re a modern foodie or getting on in years and nostalgic for the past.
