Berguedà (Catalan pronunciation: [bəɾɣəˈða]) is an inland comarca in the central region of Catalonia, Spain.

Its northern border is a veritable mountain barrier: Berguedà is separated from Cerdanya by a chain of 2,000-meter peaks.

Alt Berguedà is rainy and (by Catalan standards) cold, with snow in the winter on the higher peaks.

For the next 60 years, growing opportunities in mining, textiles, forestry, cattle ranching, and agriculture led to a slow but steady increase, with 39,600 inhabitants in 1930, 41,938 in 1950 and 47,953 in 1960.

The growth in tourism has provided some jobs and has been a key factor in reducing emigration from Alt Berguedà.

During the Patum, representations of different mythological beasts and historical figures take to the streets, and concerts and banquets are also organized in the town.

Another well-known celebration is the Fia-faia, held every Christmas Eve in Bagà and Sant Julià de Cerdanyola.

This pre-Christian tradition marks the winter solstice, with participants carrying lighted bundles of Cephalaria leucanta from a bonfire in the mountains to the west of either town (where the sun is seen to set) to the main square.
