The Smallest Town In Catalonia. Sant Jaume de Frontanyà
Lourdes Segade
With only seven people living inside the urban area and having its own City Hall and Mayor, Sant Jaume de Frontanyà is the smallest town in Catalonia. Surrounded by mountains, it is a great place for vacation, to do some exercise or just walk and admire the landscapes and the village's unique romanesque church. However, it s inhabitants are normal people trying to make a living out of restauration or livestocking and farming.
