THE PATUM DE BERGA
This is a truly unique festival. We delve deep into the Patum so you can get to know it from the inside out. You’ll get all the details you need so you won’t miss a moment of this cathartic gathering in which the music and the Plens (devils full of fire) join forces to feed the madness and the passion. And we’ll take advantage of the festival to explore Berga – to lose ourselves in Rasos de Peguera, visit the pre-Romanesque church of Sant Quirze de Pedret and to retrace the footsteps of the city’s industrial past.

Gaudí up close
Seen up close the details of the ceilings, balconies, columns and dragons of the buildings designed by the genius of modernism make his buildings into complete works of art.
Storks in Poniente
In the regions of Lleida and La Franja, the storks are the queens. They colonise the highest spaces and settle down there to live year round. Heritage and storks are today indivisible.
Tabarca
We take a tour round an island that was settled by a group of Genoese 240 years ago. The proliferation of saints on the island reminds us of their struggle against poverty and pirates.
48 hours in Figueres
The capital of Alt Empordà is not only touched by the north winds – Dalí is also responsible for its brilliant eccentricity, which you can discover in a single weekend.
Through other eyes
The Sant Gervàs mountain range in Pallars Jussà defends its integrity.
Footprints
We recount the unusual story of Martí Vila, a 19-year-old Ogassa shepherd.
Landscape in movement
The yellow iris unrolls across the wetlands of Empordà like a carpet.
Green earth
The Apollo butterfly comes all the way from Parnassus to dazzle us with the gift of its colourful wings.
Routes
On foot to discover the most rural areas of the Maresme in Hortsavinyà; on bicycle through the area around the Sant Antoni reservoir near Pobla de Segur; with children through mythical Matagalls.
