Cole Point

It is worth taking a short trip out to the neighbouring town of Granollers to see this excellent exhibition on the history of writing and its relationship to modern art. ‘Els rastres de l’alfabet’ (‘Tracing the Alphabet’), which includes reproductions of the very first known samples of writing, shows the way in which the Roman alphabet has developed, and the use made especially by twentieth-century artists of written forms, with originals by Tàpies and Miró.
