Acclaimed author Maria Barbal will join the Conca de Dalt book club for a virtual session on March 24, highlighting the success of this local cultural initiative.

Based in the village of Aramunt, the project launched in July 2025 as part of the Microcomunitats program. It later gained significant support from the Pallars Jussà County Council through its Reading Promotion Plan.
Currently funded by the Conca de Dalt Town Council and managed by the Femmes Cultura cooperative, the club has grown to 25 regular members. This is a notable achievement for a municipality with only 439 residents.

"This demonstrates the potential of small Pallars villages to drive long-term cultural initiatives."

The upcoming session will focus on Maria Barbal's novel Tàndem. Local authorities continue to encourage residents to join this community space, which has become a key cultural hub in the region.
