The farm school Can Pau proposes a well planned group
of activities that you can follow during a one day visit
or during two or more journeys, the pedagogic proposal
that we intend to offer, is to reach a comprehension of the use,
customs, and traditions of the traditional farmers and the implications
of the modern agriculture, for all those reasons the major part
of the workshop that we have here stand for three F "farm-
field -forest" which is the basis of the traditional rural
catalan house. And so is the food transformation which comes from
the three places mentioned above. The rich culture and the magnificent
views of the country allows that we can add to the stay at Can
Pau some really interesting guided visits
