Discover the village of Palau-del-Vidre, its shops, its craftsmen. An ornamental lake awaits you for walking and cycling, fishing or jogging.

Discover the art of glass and its international festival and then visit the church whose heritage is no lack of interest.

The glass blowing in the town dates back to the fourteenth century. The canopy activity was such that at the fifteenth century the village was given the name of Palacium Vitri (Palau Del Vidre).

The village is very attached to Catalan traditions you can take part in the celebrations of Easter or during the fires of St. John.

Earlier this summer, thanks to the Music festival program and Poetry "Summer Concert", you can attend classical music concerts.

A small village with many advantages!
