Sant Vicenç de Castellet
Known as "the stone of St. Vincent," this exploitation has become the main economic activity, with workshops devoted not only to work but also the stone itself imported marble. Industrialization came with the railway, but had previously been a rural population heavily influenced by the vineyard.
The town, the ancient core Vallhonesta, gateway to the Natural Park of Sant Llorenc del Munt and l'Obac, has retained ties with the land.
