Tips from the Community
Few places explain so well nature's ability to recover. Where there was once a clay pit and a landfill, today a wetland stretches out, which has become one of the most biodiverse areas in central Catalonia and an important refuge for fauna.

The Transéquia As a tribute to the people who built the irrigation canal between 1339 and 1383, which still provides a large flow of water to the city of Manresa today, the Young Chamber of Manresa began organizing the Transéquia in 1985. Starting from Balsareny, it passes through the municipalities of Sallent, Santpedor and Sant Fruitós de Bages and reaches the Parc de l'Agulla de Manresa. In 2014, the Fundació Aigües de Manresa - Junta de la Séquia took over from the Young Chamber and has been organizing it ever since.

Pleasant walk through Talamanca and its surroundings with a moderate slope. The route runs along well-marked tracks and is marked with milestones with white and green labels. With this itinerary we will discover the medieval origins of Talamanca based on its cultural and natural heritage. The route follows a section of the stream between small gorges and waterfalls that have emerged between the rocks. The itinerary discovers constructions such as the dry stone huts, the water lilies or the unique area of the balma salt of the Gobians and a part following the stream bed, scene of one of the most important battles of the war of succession. Part of the excursion goes through Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac Natural Park.
