Sant Joan de Vilatorrada straddles the Bages plain and the hills that enclose this fertile plain towards the west, where the Collbaix hill is the most emblematic expression.

From this summit you can contemplate the landscape elements of the wine culture, such as the vineyard or the dry stone huts and follow the river Cardener, an essential element of a town closely linked to the industrial revolution and the textile factories, as can be seen every year at the famous Embarrats Fair.
