The Area
The Catalan Country Apartments are located in Anoia County, just a few kilometres south of the city of Igualada, in Barcelona Province. Anoia is known as “the land of castles”, for its rich cultural heritage and many medieval castles and towers, some of which date back to the mid 10th century. The region is also known for its gorgeous landscapes, with plenty of hiking and biking trails that lead to beautiful natural pools and waterfalls. There are also many small towns to visit, such as Calaf and Montserrat, where you can try the local cuisine – a combination of inland and coastal dishes. Traditional regional products include dry-cured sausages (fuet, llonganissa) white and black pudding, honey, cheese and curds.
