Rupit, Besalú and other medieval towns from Barcelona
Overview
This tour is especially designed for tourists and travelers who are visiting Barcelona and would like to get to know the rural areas around the city.
On this tour we will visit some structures built in the Middle Ages, but we will not focus so much on the archaeological aspect, such as visiting a castle or a medieval church, but on the more cultural aspects.
To understand the towns, it is interesting to know what has happened over the centuries, the history. Knowing what the families were like, what their traditions were, their language, their activity, their gastronomy, will help us to better understand the present.
Rupit is surely the most beautiful village in the entire province of Barcelona, offering an immersion in the traditional rural catalan life.
On the other hand, Besalú is an excellent example of a town with a great history from a political, commercial and ecclesiastical view.
Recently Rupit is considered the most beautiful town in the world by the WTO.
