Lago de Linya is located in central Catalonia (some 80 km from Barcelona), on the intersection between the eastern and western regions of Catalonia. This highly active area has been subject to considerable changes in recent years, partly due to its excellent links with France, Madrid and Barcelona, but also due to its high level of industrialisation and high-performing education system.

It sits in a region called El Solsonès, which has a population of over 350,000 and has good transport links. It is in close proximity to the Pyrenees, where cultivated fields meet great wooded expanses and high mountainous areas that create a great contrast between landscapes and ski pistes.

It has fifteen districts but only six highly populated areas, since most of the land is dotted with farms, some of which are good examples of typical 15th to 18th century rural Catalonian architecture.

For this reason, El Solsonès has been dubbed “the region of a thousand farms”. It offers the opportunity to play sports or discover gems from the Romanesque, Gothic or Neolithic periods in the least expected places. This combination has formed a landscape in which civilisation has managed to strike a balance with the land that it cultivated.

It is a region with hotels, agritouristic houses, tourist apartments, campsites, hostels and other places of refuge; for youngsters, there are summer camps or educational farms, where they can spend a few days away from the hustle and bustle of busy cities.
