The region of Lluçanès is a high plateau, slightly leaning towards the Llobregat area that falls abruptly over the Vic plain. This turns it into a land of transition between the fields of wheat and grass, and the land of bread and wine. Landscape, art and first class gastronomy meet on this high plateau. Now, if we allow our eyes for a second in the distance, we come across a land that invites us to wander its roads, villages, farmhouses and castles, and its stories of shepherds, witches, bandits and soldiers. Lluçanès is full of historic farms, such as El Vilar, and mills, barns and tile factories that turn their houses into small, self-sufficient, worlds of living villages that still keep the air from centuries ago, such as Alpens, Sant Feliu Sasserra or Sant Boi. The heritage of Lluçanès includes altarpieces, ceramics, enamels, forging works, lintels, stone benches and so many other intangibles, such as their legends, songs and folklore. Also, monumental art and architecture are represented in an exceptional way in the crypt of Oristà, in the medieval set of Lluçà, in the Renaissance façade of the Sant Feliu town hall or in the baroque complex of Sant Boi.
