Notícies
You can now check out and sign up for the activities organised by the La Garriga Visitor Centre.
In addition to the usual visits and itineraries (the station shelter, Modernism, La Doma...), this quarter includes new activities and special programmes.
This week, work will be carried out to repair the left abutment of the Can Noguera bridge—an initiative that is part of the project to improve the Congost River's riparian environment.
From October 16 to 18, La Garriga celebrates the 15th edition of the Modernist Days, an event that will transport us back to the early 20th century.
