The best traffic-free bike rides around Olost

Between fields and forests appears the church of Santa Eugènia de Relat, a small parish with over a thousand years of history. Although it was greatly transformed in the Baroque period, it still retains its Romanesque bell tower and the characteristic Lombard arcades, one of the most recognizable features of Catalan Romanesque. The surroundings invite you to stop for a few minutes, enjoy the silence, and contemplate how this corner has remained almost unchanged while the Bages landscape continues to mark the rhythm of the seasons.

This road has hardly any traffic and crosses an incredible space where agriculture and nature coexist in harmony.

The center of Santa Eulàlia de Puig-Oriol belongs to the municipality of Lluçà and is located on the ridge that separates the valley of the Gavarresa river from the valley of the Lluçanès river. The town grew from the first constructions in the 18th century, due to the importance of the transhumance route that connected Sant Feliu Sasserra with Alpens. In many of its houses built between the 18th and 19th centuries you can still read the inscriptions and dates engraved in the stone. At the northern end of the town there is a small parish church in the popular baroque style.

Olost is a municipality in the province of Barcelona, in the county of Osona, in the sub-county of Lluçanés. It also includes the town of Santa Creu de Jutglar. The parish of Santa María de Olost has been documented since 908 and that of Santa Creu de Jotglar since 984. From 1966 to 1991 Mosén Ramon Vila i Pujol was rector of the church of Santa María de Olost.

This old bridge over the river Llobregat is located in a very strategic area of passage, as the municipalities of Sant Fruitós de Bages, Sallent, Artés, Calders and Navarcles coincide. It was bombed and abandoned in that state during the Spanish civil war. It appears documented for the first time in 1086, as part of the royal road. Of the primitive Romanesque structure, only a part of the foundations remains on the left side of the river.

This 26-kilometre-long ditch that carries water to Manresa was built in the 14th century by the master Guillem Catà. Its construction was highly problematic, as the Bishop of Vic opposed its construction because it passed through the bishopric's land and threatened its promoters with excommunication. The bishop died before the works were finished and even so he really excommunicated the workers and the councilors of Manresa, in addition to interrupting the practice of the sacraments throughout the city. The bishop's successor maintained a more dialogue attitude, accepting the compensation offered by the city. However, legend has it that divine intervention became necessary, in the form of a mysterious light from Montserrat that entered through the stained glass windows of the Carmen church, at the same time that the bells began to ring by themselves. The bishop, seeing this phenomenon, regretted his position, but died shortly after, and his successor did not take long to reverse the situation and lift the excommunication.
