DESCRIPTION OF A PLACE-BERGA

Berga is a little city situated in the central part of Catalonia, in the North-East of Spain. It has got a population of 16.000 people approximately. It’s situated between the “Depressió Central” and the “Pre-Pirineus”. It’s a beautiful city rounded by mountains in one site and plane in the other. In it you can’t find a lot of very tall buildings, but the big part of the population live in flats. There are two parts of Berga where almost all the buildings are unfamiliar houses, The Pedregals and La Valldan.
The most popular thing of Berga is its festivity La Patum. La Patum is a festival where fire, dance, religion, tradition and a lot of music are mixed. The most popular place of Berga is the St.Pere square where Patum takes place. The “Carrer Major” is the principal street of Berga where we can find a lot of shops and bars. In the “Passeig de la Indústria” you can go for a walk or do sport. The most beautiful church in Berga is Sta. Maria de Queralt, it isn’t situated inside the city, it’s in the top of a mountain in front of Berga. I think Berga is a very beautiful place to live and it’s not very big but you can find all the services and comforts that you need.
