10,802 inhabitants. Only 3 km from Manresa, Sant Joan de Vilatorrada flourishes in a natural environment of groves and cultivated land. This village of industrial tradition developed on the alluvial terraces drawn by the course of the Cardener River. The geological history of the municipality can be observed even in the conglomerates of Collbaix, the highest point at an altitude of more than 500 metres. The historic masias and former textile factories along the Cardener tell the story of the textile industry's boom. At the end of October, the Fira Embarrats celebrates this industrial past with a weekend of entertainment and colourful theatrical tours.
