Overview

This is journey to the roots of Catalonia and a must for lovers of medieval art and nature experiences.

This tour starts with the hotel pickup in Barcelona. First, we travel in a comfortable air-conditioned SUV to Vic where we start a walking tour of the city. Here in the capital of the Osona borough you will see Plaça Major with its art nouveau buildings, the Roman temple and the romanesque cathedral of St. Peter.

Next, head to the medieval village of Santa Pau for a stroll through its historic romanesque centre before having a lunch break in a rustic and authentic restaurant of the area, where you will be seduced by best local ingredients and grandmother's recipes.

The last stop of the day is at the beautiful medieval village of Besalú, where you have the opportunity to visit the romanesque churches, buy local products or just enjoy an ice cream or a cup of coffee.
