The House-History

Ca l’Ermitanyo – Casa Torre Blanca | Turismo rural en Súria (Bages)
You may wonder what a hermit crab does here in Súria, surrounded by mountains. I am going to tell you my story. Millions of years ago, these lands were covered by a sea that existed in "el cor de Catalunya" (Middle Catalonia). This sea disappeared with the rising of the Pyrenees in a process until it became the current landscape.

As you know, hermit crabs choose a shell and inhabit it until it becomes small and change to another, and I decided  that Ca l’Ermitanyo (Torre Blanca) was the better place to live. It was a cozy place with a good location where you can appreciate the heritage of all this geological process: important rock formations such as “la muntanya de Montserrat” , different geological points of interest such as the “Muntanya de Sal in Cardona”, “les coves del Toll in Moià”, “les coves de Salnitre in Collbató” and rich natural resources, the salt that has defined the landscape and society of our territory.

So I decided to start to rehabilitate my shell (Torre Blanca), make it beautiful and although it sounds strange coming from a hermit crab, share it and contribute to spread all these wonders of our nature and our people. In 2012 therefore, Torre Blanca (Ca l ‘Ermitanyo) was opened as Rural accommodation.
