The figure of Josep Miracle epitomises culture and humanities in Vallvidrera. This writer had an infectious passion for culture and was a distinguished member of the Vallvidrera community for years. The library named after him includes a big hall with large windows looking onto the surrounding greenery, so readers can enjoy views of nature. Its shelves are filled with a large number of works dedicated to alternative lifestyles, natural therapies and healthy living. The local history section is also worth a visit, with books on Vallvidrera’s past and individuals such as the writer Manuel Vázquez Montalbán, who used to visit the library seeking inspiration for his alter ego: detective Pepe Carvalho. This is also a meeting place for social activities, including book clubs and storytelling sessions for Vallvidrera’s youngest neighbours, which are held every Wednesday. Check out the activities calendar on the library’s web page.
