To capture one of the best views of the medieval city of Besalú, backed by the snow-capped Pyrenees, you'll need to walk slightly out of town.

From the tourist office, head across the car park in a southerly direction and take the road straight on that runs parallel to the river Fluvia. When you reach a t-junction, the right hand fork is signposted “camping,” but you’ll need to turn left. The tarmac road heads uphill. Keep following it until you reach a right hand turn that leads off into a field and towards a farmhouse. Around here is the brow of the hill and offers a stunning view down on to Besalú.

I’d recommend heading up here around 9 or 10am, in order to capture the city bathed in the early morning sunlight.

Hotel Costabella

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent stay in Girona. We use this hotel as a stopover from the UK to the south of Spain. Very clean, premium in room toiletries (Rituals) and very friendly atmosphere. Our dog travels with us for a small supplement and he can sit in the lounge bar for evening meals/ breakfast. 15 minute walk into the city, nothing too tasking. Overall 10/10. Pilar on front desk very welcoming!"
