Sant Jordi

Drawing of Sant Jordi

“A rose for love and a book forever”. Books, roses and romanticism are the main characters of Sant Jordi, an important day for the Catalan nation dedicated to literature and love.

Nadal (the Catalan Christmas)

Christmas

It’s Christmas time everywhere and so it is in Catalonia! Even though the Christmas party here is very similar to most of English-speaking countries, there are some differences that we’ll explain you here.

The Castanyada

Panellets

Hallo-what? In Catalonia, the evening of the 31st of October, we celebrate “La Castanyada” (the chestnut party) instead of Halloween. So there are no pumpkins, no ghosts, fake blood nor terrific stuff, the only thing you’re gonna find are chestnuts, panellets, sweet potatoes and “la castanyera” (or the chestnuts’ lady).

Boats in Palamos

From Palamós to Calella

Swimming in deep turquoise, crystal clear water coves, hiking through pine forests and visiting picturesque fishing villages are some of the activities you can do in this area of outstanding natural beauty. The walk between Palamós and Calella is one of the wildest of the Camí de Ronda and it begs to be explored. All you need is a pair of comfortable hiking shoes, a bottle of water and a camera to capture everything!

Milestone in Matagalls

Matagalls

All proper Catalan mountaineers have climbed at least once the mythical Matagalls. Located in the splendid natural park of El Montseny, this mountain offers wide open views of all the park and surroundings (from the Pyrenees to the sea). Whether you’re a passionate hiker or you just love beautiful landscapes, this excursion is the perfect plan to enjoy a day outdoors.
