Description
Discover the charming medieval cities and villages of the Pre-Pyrenees, see the rich romanesque cultural heritage of the area, try a barbecue or set up a picknick in the forest.

Start your tour at Vic's sites, where a temple from Roman times, the medieval city walls, and its romanesque cathedral await. Next, visit La Garrotxa, where the landscape is still visibly shaped by its volcanic past.
Your next stop is Santa Pau, to explore the medieval city walls and the Santa Maria Church, as well as the town's main square. Pick whether to enjoy a picnic in the forest of La Fageda or taste the rustic dishes in one of the guest houses along the way.
Finish your tour in Besalú, world-famous for its 14th-century bridge that was featured in the TV show Westworld. Visit some of the romanesque landmarks like Saint Peter's or Saint Vincent Monastery. Make the most of your stop and explore local products like salami, cheese, honey, and churros.
