La Mola Conference Center is located 5 km in between Terrassa and Sabadell, the two cities near Barcelona, Spain, and in the middle of the 14,000 ha Sant Llorenç Natural Park.


La Mola is 30 minutes by car from the city center of Barcelona. There are no public trains or buses that take to the Conference Center door. Plan for at least a 5 km walk in dust roads in the woods, or take a taxi ride from Terrassa or Sabadell.

When talking to local people to get directions, make it clear the La Mola Conference Center is not at the well-known mountain ("La Mola") that gives name to the area. The La Mola mountain is 10 km north-west of the summer school location. As the conference center is brand new, they may not know about it. If so, ask for the "Real Club de Golf El Prat" or the "Masia Can BonVilar" road. You can find signs with these names in the incoming roads, and our place is 100 meters north of the golf club entrance.

Terrassa

In the region of Valles Occidental, close to Barcelona, we find the town of Terrassa. The backdrop of this ancient Roman municipality is made up of the mountains like the Muntanya de Monserrat Nature Reserve, and the Sant Llorenc del Munt i L'Obac Nature Reserve.

The town, home to the Egara diocese back in the 5th century, has a rich monumental heritage which includes Visigothic and Romanesque churches of great interest. Sant Pere, San Miquel and Santa Maria have elements from the 6th and 7th centuries, combined with later modifications from the pre-Romanesque, Romanesque, Gothic, and even Baroque periods. In addition to the novel architectural techniques, we highlight the Romanesque mural paintings, and numerous Gothic reredos. Medieval Terrassa has left in its city center many other important monuments, such as the Tower of Palau, and the castle-Carthusian monastery of Vallparadis. At present, both spaces house the Museum of Terrassa. Modernist aesthetics from the late 19th century to early 20th century have left a rich artistic legacy in Terrassa, which includes houses owned by the wealthy bourgeoisie, such as Masia Freixa, factories such as Aymerich i Amat (nowadays the Catalonia Museum of Science and Technology), and public buildings such as the City Hall.
