Cal Penedes is our house in the countryside near Montserrat, in the veïnat of Sant Cristòfol in Castellbell i el Vilar. This blog is a small journal about the place: the work we do on the house and garden, the weather, the wildlife, and everything else that makes life here what it is.

The site also hosts a live webcam pointing towards Montserrat, and a small weather station on the roof. If you are curious about the (rather thin) history of the building itself, there is a separate post about that.
