Hidden between the mountains and away from the usual tourist routes, this destination is made up of the La Vall d’en Bas and Les Preses municipalities in La Garrotxa, and is a real gem for lovers of tranquillity and nature. The valley is made up of different clusters of farmhouses and stone houses, and the landscapes of meadows, forests, rivers, gorges and hills dotted with Romanesque villages and hermitages are a joy for the senses. Stay in a rural farmhouse and enjoy bike or walking routes, horse riding or donkey trails through marked paths such as those of Itinerannia, a network of trails that run through the Catalan Pyrenean region.Don’t missCan Trona, Culture and Nature Centre of la Vall d’en BasTo start exploring the territory, there is no better way than to pass through Can Trona, an interpretation centre dedicated to the discovery of the municipality and the region.
