Lluçanès

El Lluçanès is located in Central Catalonia, just over 1 hour from Barcelona.

Perched on a plateau, it is a serene territory, dotted with small rural towns, with a quiet life, slow clocks to live without haste, where you can enjoy local products and traditional cuisine.

Iberians, Romans, witches and bandits, shepherds and transhumant herds, wars between the French and the Carlists... have forged the Lluçanès of today. Traces that are recognized in the territory, in heritage and customs, legends, traditions and living festivals.

Fairs, festivals and markets fill lively streets with kind, genuine and simple people who love their land.

The Llucanes seeks good travelers. A responsible and discreet tourism that directly benefits the local community and helps to preserve the singularities of the territory, culture and identity.
