Sant Fruitós de Bages, about 65 kms north of Barcelona, between the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean Sea, is a typical village in central Catalonia. The village has some 5000 inhabitants, and is 20 kms from the mountain of Montserrat, the spiritual heart of the Catalan nation.  There is a lively cultural life in the village, with many "festas", notably the Festa de l'Arṛs (or rice festival) in February when paella is served to the whole village as well as many visitors.  For more information see the web pages of the  Sant Fruitós municipality  or the  Sant Fruitós parish.


La Sagrera, the historic centre of the village. Michael Greenacre's house and music club, Ca l'Escopeter, is situated here in La Sagrera.
