Your reminder that the Catalan Pyrenees are full of quiet corners waiting to be discovered.

La Cerdanya is one of them: wide valleys, mountain views, fresh air, traditional villages and that slower rhythm that makes you feel far from everything, even if you are only a couple of hours from Barcelona.

It is a place for scenic drives, mountain walks, long lunches and small towns like Puigcerdà, where the Pyrenees feel elegant, open and easy to enjoy.

And if you are looking for a special place to stay, Torre del Remei, in Bolvir, is the kind of refined base that matches the calm of the landscape.

A peaceful escape for those looking to discover Catalonia beyond the obvious.

Looking for a side of Catalonia that feels far from the usual Mediterranean postcard?

The Lighthouse of Fangar, in the Delta de l’Ebre, is surrounded by sand, sea and open sky.

To get there, you need to walk through the dunes, and that is part of what makes the visit special.

It is quiet, wild and unexpected, almost like finding a desert next to the Mediterranean.

Tip: Go early, bring water and wear comfortable shoes.

🥾 Access on foot only
🚗 Around 2h from Barcelona.

What if you could discover a region through its w**e routes?

In Catalonia, this is possible.

The new programme “Catalonia W**e Routes: Paths to Happiness” brings together 9 w**e routes across the region, inviting visitors to explore Catalonia through its vineyards, w**eries, landscapes, gastronomy and local stories.

W**e tourism here is not only about tasting w**e.

This weekend, Castelló d’Empúries is going back to the Middle Ages.

During Terra de Trobadors, the historic centre fills with medieval markets, music, theatre, costumes, family activities and historical reenactments, creating the feeling of walking through an authentic medieval village.

If you are a fan of history, legends, old streets and immersive local traditions, this is one of the most special September plans in Catalonia.

Because here, history does not stay inside a museum.

It takes over the streets.

📍Castelló d’Empúries, Alt Empordà
📅 11–13 September 2026
🚗 Around 1h45 from Barcelona.

🦐 If you like cooking your own local food when travelling, this is one ingredient to look for in Catalonia.

La Gamba de Palamós, Palamós’ famous red prawn, is one of the most prized seafood products on the Costa Brava, known for its deep red colour, delicate texture and intense Mediterranean flavour.

The best way to cook it is also the simplest: Buy it fresh, heat a pan or griddle until very hot, add a little coarse salt and cook the prawns briefly on both sides.

No heavy sauces. No complicated recipe. Just good product, high heat and a few minutes.

And for the side, keep it just as Catalan: pa amb tomàquet.

Toasted bread, rubbed with ripe tomato, olive oil and salt. Simple enough not to compete with the prawns, but perfect for soaking up all that flavour.

Try it once and you may never look at prawns the same way again.

The Pyrenees are not only about mountain views.

They are also home to some of Catalonia’s most fascinating wildlife: the western capercaillie, the fox, the brown bear, the Pyrenean chamois and the bearded vulture.

The best way to spot them is simple: go slowly, stay quiet and look carefully. Because in the Pyrenees, nature is not just a backdrop. It is alive, moving quietly between forests, cliffs and alpine landscapes.

Best enjoyed with binoculars, patience and respect for the landscape.

🚗 Around 2h30–3h30 from Barcelona, depending on where you go.

As summer begins to soften, harvest season starts in Catalonia.

In the Penedès, vineyards enter one of the most important moments of the year: the grape harvest.

During September, w**eries across the region host harvest activities, tastings, brunches, picnics and vineyard events.

Just under an hour from Barcelona, it is one of the easiest ways to experience Catalonia’s w**e culture.

Check Penedès Turisme to find the event that best suits your trip.

🍇 Harvest season usually starts between late August and early September
🚗 Around 50 minutes from Barcelona

🚨 ADRENALINE LOVERS, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU. NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED.

Looking for a summer adventure on the cliffs of the Costa Brava?

If you love climbing, sea views and a bit of adrenaline, Via Ferrata Cala del Molí could be your place.

Located in Sant Feliu de Guíxols, this route follows the cliffs right above the Mediterranean, with steel cables, bridges and rocky sections overlooking the water.

You don’t need previous via ferrata experience, but you should always do it with a qualified guide and the right safety equipment. This is not an activity to try on your own.

A different way to experience the Costa Brava: active, scenic and definitely not your usual beach plan.

📍Sant Feliu de Guíxols, Costa Brava
🚗 Around 1h15 from Barcelona.

Want to experience Catalan nature, even if you are just visiting Barcelona?

Parc del Montnegre i el Corredor is a great option if you want forest, walking routes and fresh air without needing a car.

From Arenys de Munt, you can start with easy walks around Can Jalpí, follow the Torrent d’en Puig, or take longer routes towards Collsacreu and the Corredor area.

🥾 Can Jalpí — easy
🥾 Torrent d’en Puig — easy to moderate
🥾 SL-C 75 to Collsacreu — moderate
🥾 Route to Àrea d’esplai del Corredor — moderate to challenging

A simple way to discover Catalonia’s natural parks at a slower pace.

🚆 Reach Arenys de Mar by train from Barcelona, then connect to Arenys de Munt by local bus or taxi.

Some villages are not only visited, they are imagined.

Llers, in the Alt Empordà, is one of those places where history and legend seem to walk through the same streets. Known as a land of witches, the village has long been linked to stories of mystery, spells and popular imagination, later immortalised by Catalan poet Carles Fages de Climent in Les bruixes de Llers.

Today, walking through Llers means discovering a quieter side of the Empordà, where castles, stone houses and old tales still shape the atmosphere of the village. A small place with a surprisingly mythical soul.

🚗 Around 1h40 from Barcelona.
