Folgueroles

Folgueroles is a small town that is located halfway between the Plain of Vic Folgueroles and the beginnig of the Guilleries which include the oriental sector of the territory that allow you to enjoy nature, literature, stone-built heritage and gastronomy. Gentle westen relief with farmhouses and several small hills (les Mentides, Sant Jordi de Puiseslloses) becomes steep towards the east with ravines and valleys full of vegetation where the streams such as Folgueroles (the tributary of Gurri) or Lledoner run. In Folgueroles Jacint Verdaguer was born on 17 May 1845. It still retains various areas of the life of the poet such as some scenes of their childhood games and youth. In addition, the town has been endowed with the seeds of artistic elements erected in his memory.
