Spain: Medieval Villages of Besalu, Rupit, and Tavertet

Besalú is a lovely, beautifully preserved small town in Garrotxa, part of Catalonia. At about half way between the Pyrenees and Costa Brava, and right at the edge of La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, in medieval times it was the capital of an independent state, but nowadays, having long lost its independence, it remains a real gem. A maze of narrow, cobbled alleys and beautifully kept buildings, set against the background of two placid rivers (the Capellades to the north, and the Fluvià to the south) and the volcanic landscape of Garrotxa. If you are looking for a fairy-tale escape in the Catalan countryside, Rupit is the perfect destination. This medieval village is perched on a rocky hill, surrounded by lush forests and waterfalls. You can explore its cobblestone streets, admire its stone houses with wooden balconies, and cross the iconic hanging bridge over the Rupit river. If you are looking for a scenic and tranquil destination in Catalonia, Tavertet might be the perfect choice. This small town, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, is perched on the edge of impressive cliffs that offer stunning views of the Ter valley and the Sau reservoir.
