Berguedà is in the north of the province of Barcelona, where the plain gives way to the first Pyrenean foothills when it meets the Que- ralt, Picancel or Catllaràs mountain ranges. From here on, all are moun- tains that overwhelm the visitor. The comarca (or county, in English usage), which is united by the Llobregat river, crossing it from north to south with its diverse tributa- ries and the C-16 as the main road connection, can be seen as a small world of great landscape, historical and human interest. In fact, the comarca of Berguedà was an agricultural and livestock farming region until the first industrialization -initially related to the transformation of wool and later with the introduction of cotton at the end of the 18th century, radically transforming the area to the point that the city of Berga became the second cotton hub of Catalonia, af- ter Barcelona. From 1887, the region will begin a long period of population growth Cercs Mines Museum. Photo: Òscar Rodbag. that will last until the 1960s. This increase was due to the establish- ment of factory colonies in the Llobregat river basin, and the begin- lation in the 31 municipalities of the comarca, occupying an area of ning of coal mining, from the second half of the 20th century. 1,185 km2 does not amount to even 40,000 people, which is a density In less than 40 years, the comarca grew from 27,000 inhabitants to of population of 33 inhabitants per km2. almost 40,500, concentrated in areas where the textile colonies were This fall in population responds to a regression in the industrial sec- established -next to the Llobregat river-, the mining colonies -in alt tors that are the mainstay of economic activity and jobs in the area.

  • Some Reflections on the Relation Between Toponymy and Geography
    Some reflections on the relation between toponymy and geography Joan TORT-DONADA 1. Introduction I shall base my reflections here on two basic premises: a) that place names, or toponyms, have by definition a geographical scope and meaning (in the sense that, necessarily, they refer or have referred to a part of the physical space that surrounds us); and b) that if place names are the object of study of toponymy, and the space that sur- rounds is geography’s essential raison d’être, there must necessarily be a significant relationship between one discipline and the other (and, therefore, an undeniable interest for the scholar). The adoption of these two premises does not imply that place names, or toponyms, cannot be considered from other perspectives of analysis. Yet, what it does imply is that the specific starting point of our study is, explicitly, a willingness to explore our understanding of the geographical dimen- sion of toponymy. Following on from this introduction, I shall organise this study around five main points and a concluding note. I begin with some general considerations about toponymy and geography, and a discus- sion of the affinities between the two fields. Then, I tackle a theo- retical aspect that I believe should be taken into careful consideration in the analysis of place names: the relation between the toponym and place. I then deal with a problem that is very closely linked to this: the difficulty of defining the toponym (or place name). From here, I go on to examine the tools offered by geography, as a field espe- cially concerned with the study of space (and, in particular, with the study of the inhabited space), for undertaking research in toponymy; specifically, I examine three methodological principles which, I believe, allow us to examine in-depth the relation between names and the territory: the principle of transparency, that of exceptionality and finally territorial significance.

  • Barcelona Is Much More
    DISCOVER WINE TOURISM BARCELONA IS MUCH MORE DISCOVER THE JOYS OF WINE TOURISM Although it may seem a modern form of tourism, wine tourism has actually been popular in the Barcelona regions for some time. Back in the early 20th century, our grandparents visited the cellers in a covered trap that ran between the train station and the winery. Another popular custom was to go to a winery on public holidays, where, if you bought something, they would let you cook your own food. That's a thing of the past now and many wineries cater for organised tours, not just to promote their products, but also to familiarise visitors with the world of wine and cava. Some establishments, country houses and winery hotels offer programmes that enable visitors to join in with the work, enjoy wine therapy treatments and take part in tastings and pairings with wine as the star. And for those who like to keep moving, wine tourism offers the chance to do some hiking or cycling on signposted paths through vineyards a stone's throw from Barcelona. Thanks to all this, Barcelona is much more: a destination full of surprises! If you are a lover of fine wine or simply curious about them, you should know that Barcelona has five designations of origin: Penedès, Alella, Pla de Bages, Catalunya and Cava. Each of them produces high- quality wine and cava. At some wineries quality wine is coupled with beautiful PHOTOGRAPHS: architecture because they are Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia either Art Nouveau buildings Caves Codorníu, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia from the early 20th Century Vineyards, Vilassar de Dalt or avant-garde structures Mas de Sant Iscle, Sant Fruitós de Bages Caves Freixenet, Sant Sadurní d’Anoia designed by prestigious Vineyards, El Penedès architects.
