Explore three picturesque medieval villages in Catalonia during an informative guided tour. Begin your journey at Besalú, renowned for its hidden beauty and rich history. Next, discover Rupit's secrets with its unique architecture and historical significance. Finally, step onto the cliffs of Tavertet for breathtaking views and authentic experiences. Each village offers a glimpse into the region’s medieval past, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of Catalunya’s cultural heritage.
A guided small group tour invites visitors to explore the medieval villages of Catalonia, starting in central Barcelona where participants meet their guide. Proceeding towards the heart of the region, they travel to Besalú, an enchantingly preserved medieval town from the Middle Ages. Upon arrival, guests embark upon a guided walking tour through the town's arcaded streets, visiting a restored mikveh dating back to the 12th century and exploring the remains of a medieval synagogue.
Continuing on via minivan, travelers reach the picturesque village of Rupit. Located on the edge of a basalt precipice, this quaint settlement boasts just 1,000 residents occupying a mere 3,280 square feet. During their stay, visitors can freely stroll through the village, admiring the well-preserved 16th-century country houses, marvel at the historic hanging wooden bridge, and pay homage to the Baroque-era Church of Sant Miquel.
After lunch, participants board a scenic drive to the summit of the Cingles de Tavertet sandstone cliffs, passing by a megalithic tomb and the Iberian Wall en route. At the base of the cliff, they discover the charming village of Tavertet, designated as a National Property of Cultural Interest due to its 48 preserved houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. Guided tours of these historical structures provide insight into the village's architectural heritage.
As the day concludes, guests have the opportunity to restock supplies at a nearby café or continue their journey towards the lush El Magatalls forest and the UNESCO Man and Biosphere-listed natural park known as El Montseny. A brief exploration offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes, culminating in a peaceful return to Barcelona.
