Setcases ((:ˌsɛtˈkazəs); literally meaning "Seven Houses", ''set'' "seven" and ''cases'' "houses") is a municipality and town in the Pyrenean ''comarca'' of Ripollès in Girona, Catalonia, Spain, near the French border. The source for the Ter River is in the mountains just above Setcases. The current mayor is Jaume Busquets i Bartolí.〔(Municipality's website. )〕 The name ''Setcases'' has been documented back to 965, from records of some donations made by Count Sunifred of Besalú in the nearby monastery of Sant Pere de Camprodon.〔 The church contains a Baroque altarpiece dedicated to Saint Michael, which is the only such example of one in all of the Camprodon Valley. Unlike many other relics, it was saved from being burned during the Spanish Civil War.〔BIRBA, LL. ''La vall de Camprodon.'' 3rd ed. Barcelona, 1989. Ed. Montblanc-Martín (1st ed. 1962 Ed. Selecta)〕 Today, Setcases has most of its economic base in year-round tourism, including hiking in the warmer months (e.g. Ulldeter hiking circuit) and skiing during the winter season with a lift at Vallter 2000. Vallter 2000 is a very big attraction for tourists from all Spain. The weather is very cold, specially in winter the temperature can get to about -20 Celsius. In summer the temperature can rise to 20-25 degrees Celsius. ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Setcases」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
