Tuixent () or Tuixén is a village in the municipality of Josa i Tuixén, in Catalonia, Spain, and an independent municipality until 1973, when it was merged with Josa de Cadí. == Economy == It is a population traditionally dedicated to the primary sector, with exploitation of forests and livestock. The exploitation of pine (Pinus mugo subsp. uncinata) forests provided wealth to the municipality, despite the low price of the wood and the difficult access to some of the forests make its use unprofitable today. On the other hand, the progressive depopulation, the aging of the population and the lack of generational relief have significantly reduced livestock activity.
Currently, economic activity is very focused on the tertiary sector, especially tourism, restaurants, farmhouses and the Nordic ski resort of Tuixent – la Vansa.
