La Bartra is located in a very welcoming place with a long history   that goes back to the neolithic and Iberian times. In the medieval   age a convent was built, and later in the XVIII century the mountain   farmers settled over its ruins, remaining there till the 60's. The small   village formed by five families, became uninhabited and with time deteriorated... Eighteen years later, a new phase took place when a part of this village was restored and inhabited, practising eco-agriculture.

  Nowadays, La Bartra has become a meeting point for old and new   friends, to enjoy a wide range of activities, from doing Tai-chi to   enjoying the natural scenery with excursions, climbing, baths, ..., and   when the occasion arises, sharing lively evenings, philosophy, music,  ...From this emerged the need to expand and improve the facilities, and slowly, recycling all that could be of use, with time and lot of effort like the Phoenix bird, from the debris rose today's reality. (see facilities) .

  LA BARTRA-NATURE and TAI-CHI - alternative association, is   an entity that gives coherence and continuity to this project, as well   as the practical organization of the REFUGE HOUSE in order to   give a simple but warm welcome with a vegetarian diet. All this   makes possible that La Bartra stays open all year round.
