The destination
A landscape shaped by wood, water and human process.
Sant Hilari Sacalm is the capital of Les Guilleries, a natural region of undulating relief and rounded hills, between Osona and La Selva, crossed by the Ter and covered with oaks, beeches and chestnut trees. It is a town with roots, with its own lifestyle, calm and unhurried, which will welcome you with open arms.
More than a hundred springs and streams run through these forests. Here, wood, water and the patient work of artisans have always gone hand in hand. Let Sant Hilari show you its landscapes and traditions.
We will show you our places, traditions and everything that the forests of Les Guilleries give us.
Wood
The primary material of transformation, drawn from the surrounding forests.
Water
The natural element shaping the landscape, its rhythm and wellbeing traditions.
Human process
