Centelles is a village settled in a valley in the very southern part of the Comarca (administrative area corresponding to the English county) of Osona, surrounded by small mountains except in the north, which opens to the Plana de Vic (the Vic's plain). Coming up from Barcelona, following the River Congost on the C-17 road, we enter into La Plana de Vic for the same way that the Romans plotted, which later on became a royal path. 

The village is surrounded by farming fields, although only a few people of the working population earn a living as farmers. On the lower slopes of the mountains, there are plenty of stone pine, holm-oak and oak forests, and in the area called Sauva Negra, there is a residual beech forest.

Centelles has been and is still a village with cultural interests. There are all kinds of cultural organizations. Characters like the engineer and planner Ildefons Cerdà, who designed the famous area of Barcelona called l'Eixample, and the linguistic Pere Barnils were born in Centelles.

We have to point out the Festivity of Pine, declared of national interest, which takes place every 30th December.
