Sant Joan de les Abadesses
The village of Sant Joan de les Abadesses is a must. This beautiful village occupies the center of a pre-Pyrenean valley, crossed by the River TER and surrounded by mountains.
In this village it is possible to visit the most important monuments of the Romanesque Catalan with the Monestir of St. Joan de les Abadesses and the Palau de l’Abadia, as well as its cloister of the former residence of the Abbots, D’interpretació de la Mite del Comte Arnau, who will let you know this symbol of Catalonia. 100% recommended visit for you and your family.
Monastery of Sant Pere de Camprodon
Walking through Camprodon, we find the Monastery of Sant Pere, founded by Guifré II, Count of Besalú, in the middle of the 10th century, today we can only see the church. The cloister was already destroyed in 1460 and in the 17th century, the monastery was in such bad shape that the eight monks and the abbot had to live in private houses. During the 20th century, the monastic buildings were demolished and the church was restored. The church is from the 12th century, with a Latin cross plan. It has a single nave, covered with a slightly pointed barrel vault, reinforced by lateral arches. The five rectangular apses should be highlighted, four of which are in the transept and do not differ from the outside.
Vall de Núria
The Vall de Núria mountain station, with its unique natural and landscape wealth, is located in the Eastern Pyrenees, in the municipality of Queralbs. Dominating one of the highest points in the Vall de Ribes, it is surrounded by peaks of almost 3,000 meters and from which many springs and streams are born.
We suggest you enjoy this spectacular high mountain landscape with a unique form of transport: the trencremallera, the only way to reach the Vall de Núria. The rack has a route of 12.5 km and overcomes a difference in altitude of more than 1,000 meters. Users experience a multitude of sensations from the first moment: they enjoy the beauty and spectacularity of the landscape that crosses the Núria cog. The Vall de Núria cogwheel train can be taken from Ribes de Freser or from Queralbs.
