The Naturist Centre of the Mas de la Balma is a former farm in the course of construction, squatting on the side of a mountain. Its prehistoric site with caves has led to the discovery of a particular Neolithic group named ` ( L`Homme de Montbolo). In the XVIII Cent. one associated many mysteries with this agricultural property of 50 hectares. It has sheltered Jép de la Hélena, Captain of the `trabucaires`.This Catalan resistant became a highway man and was moreover never captured. During the last war the Catalan Republicans, who were fleeing from the forces of Franco, took refuge there

Today, la Balma has kept the CatalanAccent and has never ceased to seduce the lovers of nature. Hospitality here is not a meaningless word, the ambience is convivial and family-like.
This enchanting site throbbing with energy is ideal for all those who like to set up their tent in deep county side. The camping pitches, for the most part shaded, are spread out in the wooded area over 3 hectares ; water points are available nearby. Extensive terraces with both water and electricity are planned for caravans and motor-homes.
