Hostal de Montclar
Located in the town square of Montclar, south of Berguedà, the Hostal de Montclar is a benchmark of traditional Berguedà cuisine. Its origins date back to the Middle Ages, when it was part of the first buildings sheltered by the local castle.
Over the centuries, the hostel has served as a meeting point for municipal meetings and even as a school. With ancient names such as Cal Paraire or Cal Guardabosc, it is one of the few buildings that has remained in operation until the mid-twentieth century.

Discovering Montclar and Berguedà

The town preserves elements of interest such as the parish church of Sant Martí, built in Romanesque style in the 12th century, which stands out for its single nave with an apse and a bell tower with a hipped roof.
