Overview

On this extraordinary trip medieval charm meets the beauty of the natural scenery of Catalonia. We explore 2 nature reserves and we visit 3 impeccably preserved medieval villages: Besalú (´The fortress between two rivers´), Rupit (An enchanting stone village), and Tavertet (perched on sandstone cliffs with stunning views over Catalonia). Three medieval gems. Each one unique.

This is a very complete tour and an immersive experience; we travel back in time a 1000 years, we enjoy cultural immersion, try the real Catalonian food, explore nature with breathtaking views and dive into Catalonia´s fascinating history! It´s the ideal city-escape plan.

We aim for an in-depth approach with a personal touch, specializing in private & semi-private tours with max. 6 travelers (min. 3 attendees). We find a balance between guiding and letting you explore on your own. Personal pickup at your accommodation is always included - Joyous Tours (Barcelona)

Rupit

1:00 PM - Rupit, the medieval stone-village, is hidden in the forest and built into the rock. Its cobblestone streets are enchanting. We will first need to cross the famous ´hanging´ bridge to enter the town. Once inside it´s like entering a fairytale.At arrival we will do a short guided walking tour, pointing out highlights for you, things that you can do and giving suggestions for places to eat. You will have lunch in your own time (and on own expenses). This is your opportunity to try the real Catalonian cuisine! Very authentic and very delicious. A type of food that is more typical in the rural and mountenous areas (sometimes hard to find even in Barcelona). There are also beautiful hiking trails in the area, the nature is stunning, plus you can explore the town a bit more in your free time

Los Riscos de Tavertet

On our way to the next town we will include an extra stop (if weather conditions allow it), we´ll go off the road to penetrate deeper into the Guilleries Nature reserve and to enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of the impressive sandstone cliffs of Tavertet from which we will be able to overlook the plains of Catalunya state. It´s one of the most impressive viewpoints in Catalunya! We take memorable photos, we enjoy the serenity of this place and we take a deep breath of fresh mountain air before we continue. The next town is just around the corner!

Tavertet

4:00 PM - We arrive to our last and final village, a very quiet and isolated old shepherd´s town, where we will visit the local 1000-year old Romanesque church, we will take a walk through the village together and we end up at another stunning viewpoint. We conclude with these views before we head back to Barcelona. (This is a slightly longer drive compared to the morning.
