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.

"Notre séjour d'une nuit, dans ce lieu que nous découvrions pour la première fois, à l'occasion de l'anniversaire de mon compagnon, s'est passée merveilleusement bien. Si vous cherchez un lieu calme, romantique et intimiste, au contact de la nature et des oiseaux qui chantonnent, n'hesitez pas à y aller. D'autant plus que la maitresse des lieux, Anna, est adorable et très serviable. Merci à elle. Nous avons beaucoup aimé cette parenthése enchantée.Nous y retournerons."

Top Garrotxa Hotel Reviews

Hotel Nord 1901

10/10 Excellent

"The staff is excellent and generous. The location of the hotel couldn't be more convenient. The room was spacious and clean. The whole vibe is calm and lovely and reflects the loveliness of Girona."

Hotel Costabella

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and will definitely stay there again. All the staff were lovely and the hotel was nice, clean, and once in your room, quiet. I didn't realize that the pool had no heating, so that was a bit of a bite even in warm climes. Breakfast got a bit repetitive and the tongs were a bit gross. But this is minor! "
