Mura is different!

Mura is a charming picturesque Catalan village. It’s one of the world places which is so special... this is my opion. It’s possible I feel that, because it’s my hometown. But if you follow this blog, you‘ll choose if this village is special or not.
Fristly, I would like to site in Bages, one of central regions of Catalonia (Spain); the people said that Bages is the heart of Catalonia.
Mura with a population of 233 is a small village where the people live on the tourism. It was documented in the year 959, that still maintains all his medieval charm with streets and squares that developed around the Romanesque church of St. Martin. This is one of the reasons that this place is chosen to shoot some flims.

At 454m of altitude, in the middle of the St. Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac Natural Reserve, Mura is surrounded by mountains' crests, torrents, deep pools, caves and springs that you will discover following some of the many tracks and paths. Between squares and small streets with traditional stone houses, very picturesque and well preserved, you can find Camil Antonietti street, the Church of Sant Martí, a flour windmill, or the chapel of St. Antoni. Inside its district you can enjoy de view of old restored Catalan farmhouses in harmony with the natural environment, some of them built in the rock as the Puig de la Balma or El Perich, and dry stone constructions as the vineyards shacks or the curious vats in the middle of the vineyard.
I would like you to learn more about my stuff, but you have to wait the next post. Thanks to follow me!
