Sant Hilari Sacalm

Sant Hilari Sacalm is the capital of Les Guilleries, Km 0 of a wild and still little-known massif between La Selva and Osona. A km0 where nature and forests generously give us countless fruits, sensations and products, where they are more grateful than ever to those who visit and love them, and reach the highest levels of beauty, peace and authenticity. A privileged place where nature lovers can enjoy it in a thousand different ways, and where it is shown and given to us without nuances, just as it is.

In Sant Hilari there are more than 100 fountains from which the purest water flows, the water that served as a hiding place for Serrallonga, one of the most important bandits in Catalonia, who also witnessed the birth of General Moragues or the same one that was distributed by the endearing Jaumet del Flabiol to visitors to the municipality. These illustrious characters left a strong mark on the Hilarion municipality.

The origin of Sant Hilari Sacalm must be located in the vicinity of the church of Sant Hilari, which is a Romanesque construction from the 10th century, but which was renovated in the 19th century and became part of the bishopric of Vic since then. Over time, its domains increased and its economic power grew. In the second half of the 19th century, a spa was built in Sant Hilari, Font Picant, which became one of the most important summer resorts in Catalonia. In this, visitors went to drink the bicarbonated and ferruginous waters. Currently, you can visit the hotel and see and taste the waters of the different fountains.
