Cerdanya
Cerdanya is one of the most spectacular mountain regions in Catalonia, located in the Pyrenees, with a landscape characterized by its great plain, surrounded by imposing mountains, which make it one of the widest valleys in Europe. Divided between Alta Cerdanya (France) and Baixa Cerdanya (Catalonia), this region is an ideal place for both nature lovers and those seeking culture and tranquility.
The capital of Baja Cerdanya, Puigcerdà, is a charming town that stands out for its main square, its lively shopping streets and Puigcerdà Lake, an emblematic place that offers a bucolic landscape, especially during the autumn and winter seasons. In addition, the region has other towns of great charm, such as Llívia, a curious Catalan enclave in French territory, known for its pharmacy, one of the oldest in Europe.
Nature is one of the great attractions of Cerdanya. Its privileged location between the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park and the border with France offers an incomparable environment for practicing mountain sports. Hiking routes, such as the one that leads to the Malniu refuge or the climb to Puigpedrós, are popular among visitors looking to disconnect and enjoy spectacular landscapes. In winter, the region becomes a ski destination, with resorts such as La Molina and Masella, which attract skiers from all over.
In addition to its natural beauty, Cerdanya has a remarkable architectural heritage. Romanesque churches, such as Santa María de Talló, known as the "Cathedral of Cerdanya", bear witness to the thousand-year history of this valley. The small mountain villages, with their stone houses and slate roofs, preserve the rural essence of bygone times.
The gastronomy of Cerdanya is an essential part of the experience. Local products such as organic beef, artisan cheeses and cured meats have a prominent place on the menus of the region's restaurants. In addition, mushrooms, especially in autumn, are one of the most appreciated ingredients.
Stay here, explore its picturesque villages, discover its impressive nature and enjoy the tranquility and authentic flavours that only Cerdanya can offer.
