The town of Brull is located in the Catalan region of Osona, which belongs to the province of Barcelona. The town is located right at the entrance to the Montseny Natural Park. Although it is a small population center, it enjoys a large area of land, mostly dedicated to the cultivation of vegetables, cereals, etc. The population enjoys a privileged location; It is right at the top of a valley formed by the Matagalls and Pla de la Calma mountains. It is located at an altitude of about 800 m above sea level, which gives photographic plans of the area worth seeing, seeing on the horizon, on the one hand, the Pyrenees and, on the other, Montserrat and La Mola; getting to see the coastal mountain range of Barcelona.

On the northern slope of the Collformic pass, between Seva and the port, we find this small village that is perfectly cared for and restored, with its stone houses well decorated with flowers and several restaurants where you can eat quietly.
