In search of happiness in the Llémena Valley

* The author is part of the community of readers of La Vanguardia

La Vall de Llémena is a hidden valley in Catalonia where one feels happy among its colorful fields, its landscape dotted with traditional farmhouses and its medieval heritage.

It is a territory drawn between charming hermitages, majestic castles, mystical sanctuaries and expectant volcanoes. It is a mosaic of bucolic landscapes, from the agricultural plain to the Sant Grau mountain.

The name of this natural area comes from its location framed in the river basin of the Llémena stream. It has an area of ​​184 km² and, precisely, the stream acts as an element of territorial cohesion.

Located along the stream of Llémena, this valley extends through a sub-region that includes four localities: Sant Aniol de Finestres, Sant Martí de Llémena, Canet d'Adri and Sant Gregori.

One of the main attractions of the Vall de Llémena is its enormous network of hiking trails that allow you to discover the towns that make up this territory, through unique landscapes.

Among the must-sees we find the well-known Rocacorba mountain, where we can visit the sanctuary of the same name, as well as the Puig de Adri and Puig de la Banya de Boc volcanoes.
