Thanks to its proximity to the river, the area has long been rich in water resources, as evidenced by the many ponds that still bear witness to its agricultural past.

Rural life remains vibrant, with fields of green-harvested cereals, herbaceous meadows and vegetable gardens painting a colourful and authentic landscape. Livestock farming – cattle, sheep, goats and poultry – adds flavour and character to the local cuisine. The town’s industrial activity complements this rural dynamism, with sectors such as automotive components, electric motors, pharmaceuticals, food production and metallurgy contributing to its economic vitality.

Santa Maria de Palautordera invites visitors to explore its rich cultural heritage and embark on spectacular nature trails.
