For the 18th-19th October week-end we have organized a trip to the region of el Solsonès, where the Foix lineage comes from. It may be a good occasion to combine poetry and the enjoyment of territory and countryside.

The trip includes a visit to Els Torrents, the Foix mill, Sant Vicenç de Foix and the Puits hill, as well as a poetry recital, a poetry workshop and a visit to the Sant Llorenç dels Morunys church.
