The Area

Perafita is a village of around 350 inhabitants, located in Lluçanès area, in the county of Osona, Catalunya Region. At an altitude of 754m above sea level, it’s a very calm spot, far from the reach of industrialisation and urban realities.

The toponym Perafita comes from the latin Pedra Ficta, which literally means “fixed stone”- referring to a stone that is fixed in a location to indicate the limits of a given territory or property. The name of the village thus refers to the existence, in the past, of a rock or stone erected to separate property.
