About
Món Sant Benet is a medieval monastery in the Bages countryside. Its Castanyada story is about an old chestnut seller who put a spell on her recipe book, so the ingredients now read like troll nails, giant dandruff and bat blood. Kids follow the clues to decode the recipe, then turn it into a panellet, the small almond sweet of the season. It is spooky in a silly way.
Where it is
Món Sant Benet
Camí de Sant Benet, S/N Sant Fruitós de Bages 08272, Barcelona
Getting there
- Notes
- About 1 hour by car from Barcelona: take the C-58 to Terrassa, then the C-16 to exit 54 (Sant Fruitós de Bages, Navarcles) and follow the signs to the monastery. Without a car it is a long trip: the R4 train from Barcelona Sants to Manresa, then a taxi from the station.
