Info

Carme is a municipality in the comarca of the Anoia in Catalonia, Spain. Specifically, the town is in the middle of a valley, which is composed of a band of the range Orpinell (751 m.) and the other by the Collbàs (544 m.). The village is anchored to the bottom of the valley, in the woods and subtle section of large populations. The capital of the region of Anoia, Igualada, is just ten kilometers from the village, while other municipalities La Pobla de Claramunt or Capellades are barely about five kilometers from the village. Currently the village has approximately 800 inhabitants, but in holiday seasons this figure may be slightly increased.
The village has all the basic services fully independently (pharmacy, grocery store, restaurants, swimming pool, kiosk, rural accommodation, bakery or medical services) and permanent, which avoids long journeys when carrying daily activities. But as we have already mentioned beforehand, the capital of the region is barely ten minutes drive, allowing fluid communication with all services, whether available local, state or national. Otherwise the capital, Barcelona, is located just one hour from the village, is a particular way by car or public transport.
However the look and the space in which is the town of Carmen are completely different from that presented in the Catalan capital. As we said Carmen is in the middle of a valley, forest, terraces and gardens are what really brings the essence rural town. Carmen has managed to adapt to modernity and new technologies without losing its essence and traditions.
