Camprodon is an ancient city located in the fertile and very picturesque northern part of Catalonia. Even the road to it evokes a feeling of genuine delight – well-groomed horses peacefully nibble the weed on even green meadows, evoking a feeling of peace and harmony with the environment😊.

Among other attractions, the city is famous for its New Bridge (such bridges are usually also called “Romanesque” or “Devil’s”). Also worth noting is St. Peter’s Monastery, whose construction began in 904.

Incredibly beautiful place, located in the mountains between the Montserrat mountain range and the Montseny Natural Park.

The first structure dedicated to the Christian cult was built here in the X century, since then the Church of St. Miguel, located in a cave carved in the rock, has reached our times.

Stunning landscapes overlooking the Vall de Tenes valley below, a trail past a mountain waterfall, underground caves and much more await you…

The town of Cardona, located in the north of the province of Barcelona, became widely known in the Middle Ages and brought to the heights the wealth of its city rulers thanks to extensive (for those times) salt deposits, namely its famous Salt Mountain (Montaña de Sal).

Unfortunately, only a small hill remains from the mountain nowadays . But modern tourists are offered to make a tour of the underground galleries of the salt mining enterprise existing here before 1990 and enjoy the sights of the fantastic tangles of salt minerals.

A detailed story about the history of the Salt Mountain in Cardona and some photos (you are allowed to take photos only in a few places inside) can be viewed following the link.

Located close to the small town of Santa Cristina de Aro there is a monastery of Santa Maria de Solius, famous for its exhibition of Nativity miniatures, depicting scenes from the birth of Jesus Christ and created by caring hands of Cistercian monks from the monastery.
The miniatures are made of gypsum plaster; in their manufacture, the exteriors of real houses from various cities were reproduced; pleasant surprise to identify your home in the Nativity scene!
