The Hospital Clínic Barcelona is once again taking part in the Ulisses x Endofest a charity music festival that aims to raise awareness of endometriosis and collect funds for research into this disease The Hospital Clínic Barcelona is once again taking part in the Ulisses x Endofest This third edition of the Endofest, which was held on 25 May at the Parc de Can Verboom in Premià de Dalt, raised more than 20,000 euros for endometriosis research at the Clínic-IDIBAPS thus combating the social silence surrounding this disease. Endometriosis is one of the most common benign gynaecological diseases It affects 10% of women of reproductive age between 1 and 2 million women in Spain and around 176 million worldwide and it is one of the main causes of pelvic pain and of reproductive problems in women. The over 1,600 people who attended this festival and organized in collaboration with Premià de Dalt Town Council were able to enjoy live music by Dàmaris Gelabert Carla Forns “Moviendo la vida” As well as the activities for young and old throughout the day Mariona Rius—head of the Gynaecology Service and gynaecologist at the Clínic—gave talks on endometriosis in which they discussed the symptoms the Ulisses x Endofest was also made possible thanks to the involvement of 64 volunteers who did their bit to support the organization during the event If you want to collaborate, supporting endometriosis research at the Campus Clínic, you can make your contribution via this link.

Barcelona In Maresme there are two kinds of towns: those beside the sea and others a few kilometres inland surrounded by small mountainous elevations and woods As this getaway is designed for autumn and winter and we will have time to go to the beaches in summer we have decided to leave the coast behind and get to know three charming towns and villages among the mountain greenery IN COLLABRATION WITH BARCELONA ÉS MOLT MÉS AND THE DIPUTACIÓ DE BARCELONA © Maria Rosa Ferré / ACTAlella, a short distance from Barcelona, is synonymous with vineyards and wine and has a small designation of origin but with a long history. On our first afternoon in the Maresme region, we want to visit some of the wineries producing these mostly white wines and choose one that looks very promising, the Celler Alta Alella with a trip in a 4x4 through the vineyards and an aperitif with views of the plantations and the sea include a tasting of the wines and cavas they make This is a family winery that produces organic wines and is located in Can Genís It is an excellent way to start our journey which also connects us with the deepest roots of the region Perhaps today the vineyard is not very extensive in Maresme but from the arrival of the Romans until the 19th century Industrial Revolution the vineyards and their grapes covered this area We will spend the whole of the second day in Premià de Dalt First we should say that it is a charming town especially because of the country houses located in the centre So wherever you go you're sure to have a nice walk we would like to point out some parts that you should not miss and that are not always in the centre This is the case of the emblematic shrine of the Virgin de la Cisa Also on the outskirts is the interesting Iberian site of the Cadira del Bisbe It is located on a hill on the southern side of the Catalan coastal range and you will enjoy fine panoramic views of the sea as well as walks around a settlement of the Laietani the name of the Iberian tribe that lived here around 2,500 years ago The site is partially excavated and you can make out a street What is known as the Squirrel Route starts from the settlement and goes through the forest If you follow this route ‒ which is circular and takes a couple of hours ‒ you'll get to know the flora and fauna of the Catalan coastal range and reach the Romanesque shrine of Sant Mateu the headquarters of the Societat Cultural i Esportiva Sant Jaume Its medieval tower is striking but the whole site is very beautiful and invites you to sit on its terrace currently the headquarters of the national police a building intended to be a school but following the design of the 19th century industrial factories the country house of Can Verboom or the chapel of Santa Anna are other points of great interest in Premià de Dalt A winding road takes us to Òrrius, the only village in Maresme with under one thousand inhabitants but a good place to spend the last day. It is not the smallest in the region because its municipal area includes extensive forest cover but the centre is very compact. Two large buildings stand out: the church, dating from the end of the late Gothic, and Can Cunill, a 17th century house. In Òrrius time moves slowly in contrast to many nearby towns, especially those by the sea. It is not surprising that the Mataró-born sculptor Manuel Cusachs set up his studio here and this is where he finds his inspiration. The poet Salvador Espriu said that "he has a rare command of his craft and at the same time he is a very sensitive artist and a penetrating psychologist. A complete sculptor." Bakeries and restaurants with high quality products occupy the most central places. Beyond, you can follow some paths and take a look at the country houses, some currently second residences. And a very good time to visit Òrrius is around Saint Stephen’s Day, when the whole village participates in a Living Nativity Scene performed over two days. A gigantic show for a small village that you cannot miss. Thanks for subscribing!
