"At
the end of 19th century and beginning of the 20th, the area of
Vallès Oriental has become a summer centre of Barcelona’s
bourgeois, attracted by its proximity with the city and its landscape,
and most of them by its therapeutic and thermal interest. In several
towns of the “comarca” there are Catalan traditional farms
(masies) with gardens that are witness of other times. One tour around
this singular farms and its gardens brings us closer to another way of
understanding art and life, that combines esthetical pleasure with
nature and health research. At the same time, it allows an
approximation to the work of Vallesan architect Manuel Joaquim Raspall
(1877-1937), that worked as a public and private architect in towns
like l’Ametlla, Cardedeu, La Garriga, and Granollers, that today
gather the most interesting works of this architect."
