7,496 inhabitants. To the north of the Pla de Bages, Santpedor retains a medieval layout inherited from the golden age of the 14th century, a period when this small royal town rivalled the city of Manresa in terms of importance. Paved squares, steep alleys and stone buildings exude a timeless charm enlivened by the competitive balconies and colourful flower beds of this "flowered city". Every first weekend in May, the city celebrates this label during its Flower Festival, giving the village a bucolic atmosphere.From a geological point of view, although it is a very flat region, the tectonic structures associated with the uplift of the Pyrenees and the presence of salts in the subsoil are beginning to emerge here. They are manifested by the presence of small anticlines, convex folds of the southernmost geological layers identified on the surface of the Geopark's territory. On the way to Castellnou, the site called the Costa de la Vila also marks the limit of the extinction that occurred during the change of geological time that shows the passage from the Eocene to the Oligocene. Finally, we will not fail to stroll around the Aiguamoll de la Bóbila area, one of the main wetlands of the Geopark.
