Remodeled Mapa Literari Català

As of May, we have the remodeled Mapa Literari Català website, a tool created by Espais Escrits that unites literature and landscape.

This Mapa Literari includes more than two thousand literary spaces created from the creative universe of the authors. In the case of J. V. Foix, we can find three routes, Sarrià, El Port de la Selva and El Solsonès.

Here you can see the first point of the route J. V. Foix in Sarrià.

In the case of J. V. Foix, Marina Espasa has written «Diari (1918) 2018 by J. V. Foix».

At the end of 2018, the frescoes by artist Santi Moix, established in New York, on the walls of the village church of Saurí, were inaugurated in Pallars Sobirà. The project unites the tradition of the Catalan Romanesque -identified with fresco painting- with a contemporary and innovative aesthetic.

As the village is at the end of the road, Moix has included the text of J. V. Foix «Els bells camins es multipliquen allà on creieu que acaba la carretera».
