Overview

This tour is especially designed for tourists and travelers who are visiting Barcelona and would like to get to know the rural areas around the city.

On this tour we will visit some structures built in the Middle Ages, but we will not focus so much on the archaeological aspect, such as visiting a castle or a medieval church, but on the more cultural aspects.

To understand the towns, it is interesting to know what has happened over the centuries, the history. Knowing what the families were like, what their traditions were, their language, their activity, their gastronomy, will help us to better understand the present.

Rupit is surely the most beautiful village in the entire province of Barcelona, offering an immersion in the traditional rural catalan life.

On the other hand, Besalú is an excellent example of a town with a great history from a political, commercial and ecclesiastical view.

Recently Rupit is considered the most beautiful town in the world by the WTO.

Barcelona

Rupit is the first main stop in our itinerary but it is possible also have a look to a man made lake called Sau. This lake is very famous in Catalonia being an example to explain the consequences of the global warming.The lake used to hide the old town of Sant Romà de Sau, including the homonym church, but the last draughts and higher temperatures allow people check out part of the abandoned town.Another possibility before reaching Rupit is stopping Vic, a small city, capital of Osona. Vic hosts a cathedral, which still preserves a romanesque bell tower. The town has an imposing central square, surrounded by stores and cafes. In the past the center of the trade activity.Vic has a good reputation in the production of pork cold meat products like 'fuet' and 'llonganissa', as well as pastries like 'coca d'anís'. We can try a bit of each!

Rupit

Rupit is the first main stop in our itinerary along this daytrip. The beaty of Rupit is its preservation. Walking down the streets of Rupit one can think that nothing changed in the last centuries.And honestly, a small town as Rupit is the best example of a catalan countryside village. This is why six of the houses we can see in Rupit were chosen to take part of the 'Spanish Town', a recreation of the best houses all over Spain that are showed to the public in Montjuich hill in Barcelona.Rupit has tens of houses build in between XVI-XVIII centuries, as well as a very interesting suspension bridge to enter in the main streets of the village.It is not necessary stay in a good shape to walk down the streets of Rupit but for the ones who need more we can walk to a waterfall (100 meters high).Shopping in Rupit is a perfect idea for the ones who want to bring back home some farming products as cold meat, cheese, honey, fruit gems, olive oil, ratafia (catalan digestive drink).

Besalú was the capital of a small catalan county since the end of VIII century. This towns were important in the trade of products and animals like horses from the big mountains (Pyrenees) on the way to the Mediterranean.The town also hosted for some centuries an important jewish comunity. Still it is possible to have a look to the mikve in Besalu. In fact, it is the best preserved mikve in the whole Spain.Probably, the Besalú Bridge is the most emblematic and photographed spot of the town.
