Put on your scariest, sexiest or ugliest costume and join us at the ASB Halloween party at THE MIX - the best costumes win a Halloween prize! Fund raising for a good cause Recently, it has come to our attention that one of the residents in the Casa, Judith, needs a bit of extra help. She just turned 18 and she is in desperate need of a new wheelchair. We very much want to help her get her new wheelchair, so all of the proceeds from this event will go directly toward its purchase. Come party with us and help us get Judith the new wheelchair she needs! |

Sunday, October 15, 2017, 7:25 a.m., Meet in front of Cafe Zurich, Plaça de Catalunya, 1
We're excited to share with you this gem of a hike we discovered! October's hike starts with a challenging climb that brings us along the Serra de la Cogullera with beautiful views of the valley below, followed by a densely forested descent into the Bac del Mir where we'll break for lunch near the Salt del Mir waterfall. This is a beautiful area for fall hiking and we're hoping to see some beautiful autumn colors along the way. While not a technically difficult hike, there are some areas of steep climbing and descending that require a good level of fitness and endurance, so please read carefully the full hike details & description and make sure you are ready for it. |

Sunday, August 13, 2017, 9:10 a.m.
Our exploration of the Ruta del Ter a couple of years ago introduced us to a great little out-of-the-way swimming spot that we'd like to revisit. Join us for a short hike to this perfect picnic spot for a bit of exercise and a refreshing dip in the Riera de Vallfogona. This hike is not technically difficult, but be sure you’re ready for it, because it will be hot! Please read the full hike description, download the trail at Wikiloc and bring plenty of water! |
