The residents of Gósol want to belong to the Barcelona metropolitan area. This is the decision that, by an overwhelming majority, the residents of this municipality of just 200 inhabitants, currently part of the Lleida metropolitan area, have made. Between ten in the morning and two in the afternoon, about a hundred Gósol residents filed through the Town Hall and cast their ballots in the referendum on the change. In fact, Gósol is the only town in Berguedà that does not belong to the Barcelona demarcation. The question to be answered was: "Do you agree that the municipality of Gósol should request a change of province and be integrated into the province of Barcelona?"" A total of 88 citizens voted in favor, while 12 opted to remain part of Lleida. The referendum is not legally binding, but the Lleida Provincial Council has pledged to respect the outcome and support the municipality through the administrative process required to implement the change. This was reiterated by its president, Joan Talarn, in a post on X this Sunday: "We want to assure all residents that we will respect the result, as we must, and provide them with all the necessary support."
