Day 219 - 18/04/2014 : Mining Museum in Sant Cornelli

Arriving at Sant Cornelli a mandatory stop is the Mining Museum located at the end of the town just at the entrance of the old cool mine.

If you can put up with a little time in the darkness definitely you will enjoy entering to the mine within a little train whereas the instructor explain the history of Bergueda's cool.

Nowadays there isn't mining activity in Berguedà shire but during the 20th Century it was the most representative mining place in Catalonia until it was called of in 1991.

To sum up, a interesting place to know a little of Catalonia history.

Day 218 - 17/04/2014 : Cercs's thermal plant and Baells reservoir

Close to Sant Corneli we can take a picture where Baells and Cercs thermal plant are covered.

The plan has always been a source of disputes between people living in Bergueda shire. On the one hand, the plant has given employment to Cercs inhabitants, but on the other hands a lot of environmental and contamination problems have been risen up during his life.

Finally the plant was closed in 2012 and now there are project to convert it in a biomass plant.

Anyway, this building will be part of the Bergueda's landscape and of course part of its history.

Day 217 - 16/04/2014 : La Baells climbing to Sant Corneli

I think i haven't explained before but we will take some days looking round Bergueda shire again. Definitely we love this place and we are trying every year to come some time and have pleasant days.

Today we are in the road to Sant Corneli, just to find the Mining Museum. This road is named BV-4025 and starts at C-16 after passing the thermal central of Cercs which is now stopped.

Briskly, the road climbs and you have spectacular views of the valley and Baells reservoir. The better of this route is you can stop whenever you like to take pictures because it's a very empty and quiet road therefore you aren't in danger to suffer any accident.

Enjoy the view !

Day 216 - 15/04/2014 : Bergueda's cats having breakfast

Berga Resort has got on as a quite and peaceful rest place to whom need to disconnect from the noise city. Sometimes when we got up and open our hut a family of lovely cats were waiting for us and obviously to have the breakfast.

Is for that we remembered that visit because we bought some milk and cat's delights to food them. You can't realize how happy were the little cats.

Enjoy your breakfast !

Day 215 - 14/04/2014 : Blancafort, Montnsey's oasis

We can't get out Blancafort, is like an oasis behind the mountains. Different type of trees are covering the outdoor pool, we can see some palms and pines sharing the ground fighting to provide the better shore to the guests.

The view from the rooms feels you being in a place further to the big city than you're, only 30km from Barcelona.

At night, soft lights are switch on giving a special and peaceful atmosphere. No more to say, just come !

Day 214 - 13/04/2014 : Blancafort spa, a little luxury

Let's continue looking into others Barcelona shire's.

If you want to have some time for luxury but you can't afford any big waste, try to think in Blancafort spa. Probably you won't find exciting, because it's a question to have some relax time, but it deserves at least a visit.

The Spa is located in La Garriga, a stunning town in Vallés Oriental shire, very close to Barcelona and in the foothills of Montseny range.

Specially, the best of the town is try to book in winter season a room with jacuzzi in the terrace, you will look forward to  fill the bathtub whereas you're getting frozen !

Anyway, a place to take into account, visit a time and consider to get back.

Besides Plaça Major, Vic has others sights to consider and probably the most relevant is Sant Pere Cathedral.

Located at the center of historical town you should have though of your steps if you don't want to miss it because walking quietly on the town could provoke you won't intent to visit !!!

The Cathedral of Sant Pere is the headquarters of Vic's diocese. It's a merge from different styles, from Romanesque to Neoclassical.

The bell tower comes from Romanesque, the cloister from Gothic and S.Bernat Chapel from Baroque. From 1781 to 1803 the Cathedral was transformed and improved following Neoclassical style.
