Our home is placed in the town of Breda, at 5 minutes walk from the town center. Breda is a Catalan municipality in La Selva region, province of Girona.
The house is very close to all services: various supermarkets, bakeries, pharmacy, vegetable and meat stores, etc.
All Sundays is held the weekly outdoor market.
Very close of our house of the health center, library and sports area, with swimming pool.
One of the special features of Breda is known for ceramics and there are several shops in the village.
Breda is very well communicated. In addition to having the road and motorway nearby, there are bus service (http://www.atmgirona.cat/upload/doc/linies/hjoIBjsFVk.pdf), and train at the "Riells i Viabrea-Breda" station (this station is walking by the greenway).
Breda is a historical municipality of medieval origin, although much of its heritage has been lost, are still preserved the Monastery of Sant Salvador (from the 11th century), and the Church of Santa María, in Romanesque style.
Anothers interesting places in Breda are Els Forns cultural center (about the culture of ceramics), the Hermitage of Santa Anna, the Josep Aragay museum And the Patio of the Abbey, among other places.
Near this municipality there are Riells i Viabrea, Hostalric, Massanes, Sant Feliu de Buixalleu or Gualba.
In 15 minutes is a important center, Sant Celoni, which has all kinds of services and shops.
Other places of interest are the beaches of the Costa Brava (Blanes is only 30 minutes away by car), the monumental city of Girona (40 minutes from Breda) or Barcelona (it's less than 1 hour from our house).
Breda is an ideal place for lovers of walks. The position of the city (between the Montnegre and Montseny mountains), allows multiple excursions and short, medium and long hiking and biking routes.
One of the most affordable and beautiful excursions is to the castle of Montsoriu, which is located 2 hours on foot from our house.
However, you can do many other excursions through the Natural Park of Montseny (the highest mountain in the center of Catalonia), such as the ascent to Turó de l'Home (the top of Montseny), or Les Agudes and Matagalls.
