========================

 

This is the beautiful and quite turistic village of Tavertet, Osona, in central Catalonia. Is known for being perched above a large cliff. The church is romanesque, built in the XI Century, and named Sant Cristofol de Tavertet.

 

But a Century ago life surely was harsh up in such a rocky place. There's a saying that shows a bit of that: "A Tavertet, de la merda en fan paret" (In Tavertet they made walls out of sh#t).
