| Snow and mountains within easy
reach
The Mare Janer de Talarn
house is an old rural school in this beautiful
municipality of el Pallars, with a breathtaking
view of the Terradets reservoir, whence you can
see the whole Montsec mountain range. The old
house, now totally reformed, was formerly a boarding
school and a house for the nuns of the Holy Family
of Urgell. Anna Maria Janer, the founder of this
congregation, lived from 1880 until her death
on 11 January, 1885, and did an excellent job
of looking after the students. |
