Interesting places to visit Nearby
Montseny Natural Park - Spain 


Montseny Natural Park:
The Park is an easily accessible mountainous area located to the north-east of Barcelona, approximately an hour’s journey from the city. It has been recognised as one of the most valuable geographical areas in Spain for its landscape qualities.

Santa Pau:
Located in a volcanic region, is an interesting historical site built around a square castle, a  church and an arched square.This site was declared an historical-artistic area in 1970.  Built in the 13th and 14th centuries, the castle has square shaped floor, gothic windows, a master tower and court of arms.  The church of Santa Maria is gothic and it has a single nave with arches that still bear the shield of Oms and Parapetusa-Oms, ancient lords of the barony.  The arched square, or cattle market, forms a sort of triangle with the houses and porches which shelters the market that was assigned to the town in 1297.


Castellfollit de la Roca:
An interesting small town to visit which has  1,000 inhabitants aproximately in an area of less than a square kilometre, making it one of the smallest towns in the region. Being bordered by the confluence of the Fluvià and Toronell rivers, between which the town's spectacular basalt cliff rises, it is a magnificent natural viewpoint overlooking the valleys of the two rivers. The church and the houses high on the edge of the basalt precipice has become one of the most photographed and painted images in Catalunya.

Sant Joan de les Abadesses:
A beautiful villaged founded around  a monastery. At the beginning, the village people lived dispersed in farm houses. As the inhabitants kept on increasing, it was necessary to construct a village within city walls, which is now known as the Old Town. The construction took place on terrains known as "El Vinyal" due to the fact that there were vineyards planted there. The Old Town welcomed the medieval guilds, among the most important ones the tanners and the dyers, at the Main Square, a centre of commercial interchange and beautiful buildings of which, even nowadays, reminiscences are left in the shape of some Gothic window or some monumental portal.


Castell de Montesquiu:
Standing between the  Osona and Ripollès districts on the River Ter, is where we will find Montesquiu, a medieval castle. First documented in 1285, and once a part of a defensive triangle that includes the medieval castles of Besora and Saderra, it today presides over a national park perfectly suited for a quiet day away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
