Location:

Can Ferriol enjoys the most stunning, peaceful location in the foothills of the Catalan Pyranees. Its privileged location in the pre-Pyranees volcanic region of La Garrotxa is 5 minutes from the medieval town of Besalu and a 45 minute drive to the Mediterranean sea and the Costa Brava’s seaside gems.Catalonia’s Pyranees are an all-season playground offering raw natural beauty, fantastic skiing and snowboarding, incredible hiking paths to the jewel-like lakes and valleys of the Parc Nacional d’Aiguestortes i Estancy de Sant Maurici, the low-lying countryside of Cerdanya and the dramatic climbing terrain of the Serra del Cadi. With majestic scenery, plunging valleys, snow-dusted peaks, thousand-year-old monasteries, outstanding Romanesque architecture and fabulous gastronomy, hikes within the Catalan Pyrenees uncover so many delights. Besalu is a fabulous medieval town featuring an 11th century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvia River, a restored mikveh or ritual Jewish bathhouse dating from the 11th century, the remains of a medieval synagogue and a fascinating Museum of Miniatures. The enchanting town is very beautiful and offers stunning views. You will find old stone buildings, gorgeous little pottery shops and a good range of cafes and restaurants. There is a lively market on Tuesdays. During the first weekend in September there is a medieval festival with the locals in costumes conducting re-enactments and displays of juggling along with medieval music. South of Besalu is the Banyoles Lake where the 1992 Olympic rowing races took place. It is an excellent location for picnics. The neighbouring town of La Bisbal is the centre of Catalonia’s ceramics industry so a good place to pick up a few souvenirs. It is also home to the Palace Castle of the Bishops of Girona. Girona is Northern Catalonia’s largest city. It is a fabulous jewellery box of galleries, museums, Gothic churches and a wonderful dining scene, all sprinkled along a web of cobbled lanes and medieval walls. The Riu Onyar separates the walkable historic centre from the gleaming commercial centre on the west. Outside of Barcelona, Girona offers the best nightlife and dining scene.
