If you’ve ever seen Joan Miró’s stars, moons or colourful abstract figures, you need to visit his museum in Barcelona.

Perched on Montjuïc hill and designed by renowned architect Josep Lluís Sert, Fundació Joan Miró brings together the artist’s paintings, sculptures and surreal visual universe in one of the city’s most unique cultural spaces.

What makes Miró so fascinating is how universal his art feels. His symbols and flowing forms have often been compared to Japanese calligraphy, Chinese scripts and Oceanic art.

And here’s the bonus: the museum also offers panoramic views over Barcelona, making the visit even more special.

🚇 Just 15 minutes from the city centre.

🏰 Is it the most beautiful bridge in the world? Well, that’s what locals in Besalú say.

What is true is that Besalú is one of the best-preserved medieval towns in Catalonia, famous for its iconic 12th-century stone bridge crossing the Fluvià River.

With its fortified gateway, dramatic arches and medieval silhouette, the bridge has become one of the most photographed landmarks in the region. Some travel media have even named Besalú one of the most beautiful villages in Spain.

Beyond the bridge, Besalú reveals cobbled streets, ancient stone façades and an important Jewish heritage, including one of the few remaining medieval mikvahs in Catalonia.

🚗 Around 1h40 from Barcelona by car or bus.

1️⃣ Monument Hotel 5GL Barcelona: Set inside Casa Enric Batlló, this elegant hotel blends architectural heritage, Michelin-starred gastronomy and contemporary luxury on Passeig de Gràcia.

2️⃣ Hotel Casa Fuster: A landmark modernist building by Domènech i Montaner, featuring rooftop views, grand interiors and one of Barcelona’s most iconic façades.

3️⃣ Grand Hotel Central: Located beside the Gothic Quarter, this restored historic building combines contemporary design with panoramic rooftop views over the old city.

4️⃣ Casa Bonay: A 19th-century neoclassical mansion transformed into a stylish boutique hotel with local design, vibrant spaces and Mediterranean character.

5️⃣ Almanac Barcelona: Contemporary luxury integrated into historic architecture, just steps from Passeig de Gràcia and some of Barcelona’s most emblematic landmarks.

A different way to discover Barcelona by sleeping inside its history.

This might be one of our favourite ways to experience the Mediterranean coast.

With the option to head out from L’Escala and discover the Costa Brava from the water, guided sailing sessions at Club Nàutic L’Escala are perfect for travellers who want something more than a beach day.

Feel the sea breeze, learn the basics of sailing and enjoy the coastline from a completely different perspective.

Think blue water, rocky coves, open sea and that Mediterranean light that makes everything look better.

No need to be an expert, just ready to enjoy the ride.

Head to Club Nàutic L’Escala for more info! ⛵🌊

Here’s everything you need to know about the Ebro Delta rice fields…

Located in southern Catalonia, in the Terres de l’Ebre, the Ebro Delta is one of the Mediterranean’s most unique landscapes.

Every spring, its rice fields are intentionally flooded to prepare the land for a new growing cycle. For a few weeks, the Delta becomes a vast mirror, reflecting the sky, the clouds and the surrounding wetlands.

This is one of Catalonia’s main rice-producing areas, shaped by the point where the Ebro River meets the sea.

Most visitors know rice through paella, but in Catalonia that is only the tip of the iceberg.

From seafood rice to black rice, rice with duck or creamy rice dishes, the Delta is the perfect place to understand how deeply rice is connected to the land and its gastronomy.

Here, rice is not just something you eat.

It is something you see, taste and remember. 🌾

It is the perfect moment to discover Girona’s old town, walk along its colourful streets, cross its iconic bridges and experience the city through art, heritage and spring flowers.

A unique celebration where architecture, creativity and nature come together in one of Catalonia’s most charming cities.

A couple of weeks ago, we had the honour of welcoming the writer Nath to Catalonia 🌿

Arriving in Barcelona by train from Northern Europe, she embraced a slower, more conscious way of exploring the region, travelling mostly by public transport, train and e-bike.

Along the way, she experienced moments like rafting in Llavorsí, discovering the Romanesque heritage of Sant Climent de Taüll, and immersing herself in the landscapes of Aigüestortes & Estany de Sant Maurici National Park.

We can’t wait to read her story.

Less rush, more connection. That’s also Catalonia.

🌹 Sant Jordi: a day you need to experience in Catalonia at least once in your life.

Every 23rd of April, Catalonia transforms. From Barcelona to small towns across the region, the streets fill with books and roses. People gift stories instead of chocolates and roses to those they love.

This is Sant Jordi, our version of Valentine’s Day, but with a cultural twist.

It all comes from a legend: Sant Jordi (Saint George) defeating the dragon, from whose blood a rose is said to have grown.

👉 Today, that story lives on, turning into roses for love and books for culture. And a whole region celebrating both, at the same time. 📚🌹

🌿 Trees that have stood for over 1,000 years.

In the south of Catalonia, near Ulldecona, you’ll find the Oliveres Mil·lenàries de l'Arion, one of the largest concentrations of millenary olive trees in the world.

Some of these trees were already growing during the Roman Empire.

Their twisted trunks and sculptural shapes tell a story of time, landscape and tradition that is still alive today.

Walking among them feels like stepping into another era, where nature and history grow side by side.

🚗 Around 2 hours from Barcelona by car, it’s the perfect escape to discover a quieter, more timeless side of Catalonia.

✨ If you’re exploring the south, don’t miss the chance to walk among these living monuments.
