Knowing ses garites

(...) La casa está admirablemente colocada sobre el paisaje. Los hombres que la construyeron formaban parte del anonimato más glorioso. Sin embargo, se daban cuenta del peso, de las formas, del espíritu de la realidad circundante. (...) Es una obra de gente tensa. Aquellos hombres levantaron la casa pensando que no era más que un elemento minúsculo del paisaje. Y por ello mismo crearon una obra útil, bella, elegante. Cuatro siglos de intemperies humanas y de meteorologías diversas parecen haberla madurado: sus líneas se han endulzado y se han fusionado con la tierra; la piedra se ha dorado y atenuado. Su contemplación me produce una fascinación acogedora, da reposo y calma mi espíritu. Una gran paz rodea la casa. (...)
Josep Pla. El payés y su mundo
