Site: Arbúcies

Arbúcies is a little town at Montseny´s natural park, at Girona´s province (Catalonia) but very close to Barcelona. Although this is a little village you will find it friendly and with all that you need. It might be one of the villages that has known how to keep its traditions and roots. It is important that we treat with love and respect the place and the people that live there. The camping site will be at Prat Rodó by the football field and the Corbadora´s park.

Concerts and workshops will be at the football site; talks, therapeutic sessions, etc. at Can Son (Cultural center) and La Gabella. If it rains we have an alternative place for acommodation and activities.
