Video Hosted by Clara Gari of Nau Côclea. Join us for the online presentation of the upcoming Grand Tour 2025! This year’s route will take us from the Maresme to the Pyrenees, through the Montseny, Les Guilleries, and Osona, weaving a collective journey of artistic creation and shared walking, with more artists than ever. As always, the Grand Tour is not just a walk, but a laboratory of slowness, encounter, and transformation. We are delighted to announce the participation of Christina Schultz, our guest artist in charge of the Library on the Move, and Carla Farreny, poet, writer and vertical choreographer, who will introduce her Suspended Conversation on the second day of the walk. Come discover what lies ahead, step by step. And you can also study the journey plan in our website: https://elgrandtour.net/en/noticies/
