Tourism
The central area of Baix Llobregat, which includes Sant Just, recorded the highest hotel occupancy rate in the county during the first quarter of the year, reaching 60.8%. The figures also reflect the positive impact of the Mobile World Congress, which boosted overnight stays and hotel activity across the area.
Politics

According to Mayor Joan Basagañas, the measures are intended to strengthen workplace protection and guarantee public access to pathways of public interest, particularly in the Collserola natural area.
Environment
La Vagoneta will host the workshop “(RE)PAIR YOURSELF: Making Scented Cushions”, an activity included in the Repara’t program. Participants will reuse fabric scraps and aromatic plants to create handmade cushions while promoting sustainable habits and the reuse of materials.
