Amer is a municipality in la Selva, located at the beginning of the Brugent valley. The term is eminently mountainous, although the nucleus of Amer and neighborhoods enjoy the plain that the valley forms in this place. The municipality also includes several spread neighborhoods like Sant Climent, Costa de Santa Brígida and La Jonquera, and a couple of small urbanizations, Solivent and the Colònia de la Hidroeléctrica, comprising a stable population of about 2.300 inhabitants. The term is profusely wooded, with a humid and temperate environment, with mixed forests of oaks, chestnut trees and beech trees, with pre-eminence of one or the other depending on the orientation. Also, worth mentioning, the rich riverside forest along the Brugent River, which is quite well preserved. On the plain, there are many fields dedicated to gardening, cereals and some hazelnuts. It also has a significant industrial and services activity.
