Travel Guide Castellfollit Del Boix

440 inhabitants. Castellfollit del Boix is a small village typical of the Bages, located very close to the neighbouring county of Anoia. To the south, the Maians area reveals the geological history of the Geopark. His study concluded that a sea occupied these territories 36 million years ago. Castellfollit thus reveals a unique geography where, between hills and plains, one can appreciate, in the Serra de Rubió, the dividing line between the basins of Llobregat and Anoia. Pine and holm oak forests decorate these spectacular landscapes. To grasp its beauty, do not miss climbing to the summit of the emblematic Cogulló de can Torra, which some consider to be the geographical centre of Catalonia. From the top of its 877 metres above sea level, you can enjoy a magical view of the valleys and mountains covered with vegetation such as Montserrat, Cadí and Pedraforca (6.5 km of marked path from the centre of Castellfollit del Boix, easy). While passing through the village, you can also take a look at the Romanesque church of Sant Pere, transformed in the Gothic period, and taste the famous monasteries of Castellfollit del Boix, typical beans of the region that are featured at a fair in October.
