Summary
January 2009
HIGHLIGHTS
MARESME

It is not just the sea, and not just the mountain, but both at the same time… Blue and green dominate everywhere and we show you where to see them at their best: unique trails along the ancient tracks, unique sites with a great deal of history, villages High and on Sea, cuisine based on peas, green beans, strawberries, and squid and a revelation: Gaudí fell in love in Mataró.

AND
The leather trade
We enter the workshops of the tanners of Igualada and discover the alchemy that transforms the dead skin of the animal into living pieces, read to become objects.

The Western Empordà
At the end of the Serra de l’Albera, the Massís de les Salines emerges, protecting Nativity scene villages and charming landscapes.

Montanyana
This small village in the western Alta Ribagorça places itself firmly on the map again thanks to the recover of its mediaeval splendour.

48 hours in Palma
The culinary temptations will be strong as you lose yourself among the history and narrow streets of the city of Mallorca.

Landscape in movement
The snow covers the summits with its fragile, melting white mantle.

Footprints
Kildo Carreté has made rambling a way of life.

Through other eyes
Seen close up, the dew becomes thousand tiny drops of water.

Green earth
The gannet comes flying in from northern Europe to settle in the Cap de Creus.

Routes
At the foot of the Collserola, between Molins de Rei and Sant Just Desvern (Baix Llobregat), by bicycle along the Puig de Meià (Noguera) and with children visiting the Roman monuments in Tarragona.
