Olià is a tiny village in Catalonia, Spain. It sits high up at 1,080 meters (about 3,543 feet) above sea level. This small community is part of the larger municipality of Bellver de Cerdanya.
Olià, along with nearby Nas and Santa Eugènia de Nerellà, are like "sister towns." They share a special bond. While Santa Eugènia has a church and a cemetery, Olià once had its own school called l'estudi. These three friendly towns celebrate their main festival together every year on the third Sunday of October.
