Notícies
From September 18 to 20, the pedestrian zone will be expanded and closed to motorized traffic, and on Sunday, the Church Square (Plaça de l'Església) will host a performance.
The new program proposes an autumn of performing arts and music and will be marked by the celebration of the 100th anniversary of El Patronat.
In the heat, we suggest you follow the path that connects La Garriga with Figaró.
In summer, a walk near the river can help beat the heat. For this reason, we suggest the route that follows the Congost and that connects La Garriga and Figaró.
