Day 204 - 03/04/2014 : La Baells reservoir
Just below the High Pyrenees the Catalan reservoirs store water to provide all the country during the year and above all during the summer, when the waste of water increases.
Baells is the reservoir belonging to LLobregat river and located in Berguedà shire. The dam is under the control of Cercs village and it can be visited from Tuesday to Friday whenever a book was arranged.
The construction of the reservoir brought about some impact in the shire, with the disappearance of Sant Salvador de la Vadella and Baells towns.
We can obtain good panoramic views from the reservoir and the surroundings, for example from Cercs as the picture shown.

Day 203 - 02/04/2014 : 'Peus de porc amb castanyes'
One of the most delicious dishes you should taste in Catalonia, above all in winter season, is the 'Peus de Porc'.
It's difficult to translate to English (Pork feet) therefore it's better to learn the name in Catalan and look up at the menus.
There some ways to enjoy 'Peus de Porc', people tend to taste grilled but in the restaurant 'El Recó de l'Avi' from Guardiola de Berguedà, we tasted them in a stew cooking way with chestnuts. It were delicious !
Enjoy your meal !

Now we're walking on Berga downtown. The Bergueda shire's main city belongs to the World Heritage due to La Patum.

The core of the performance in Plaça Sant Pere in Berga where we can find some figures in the walk referencing Patum.
Undoubtedly, it's a event that must be seen and experienced, next June is your time.

Day 199 - 29/03/2014 : Sta Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol
Santa Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol belongs to Lluçà town. It's a little village born in the XVIII century but formed as an inhabited village apart from the XIX village.
The bishop from Lluçà ordered to create a new church in the town which was finished in 1855, at this moment the church is considered a parish and the old one from Lluçà is abandoned.
Because the village was built in a cattle way it's resulted a large and thin town with house around Carrer Major.
Anyway, another beautiful place to visit if you're looking round Lluçanés.
