Josa i Tuixen

Few towns in Catalonia have a history as closely tied to the itinerant trade of the trementinaires as Josa i Tuixén. In this high Pyrenean municipality of Alt Urgell, women once travelled widely to sell herbal remedies and turpentine, or trementina; their work is remembered at Tuixent’s Museu de les Trementinaires. The villages stand in the Vansa valley beneath the Serra del Cadí, in the area of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. Josa and Tuixent retain the compact stone-built character of mountain settlements shaped by pastoral life and demanding winters.
