The ancient bridge the Pont Vell, with seven arches and a tower, leads into Besalú, one of the most significant and best preserved mediaeval sites in Catalonia. Strolling through the streets of this town in the Garrotxa region is like going back to the time of counts and kings. Sant Julià and Sant Vicenç Churches, Sant Pere Monastery and the Jewish baths are examples of the cultural and historic heritage found in this town. If you would like to find out about this town in depth, please consult the programmed activities: guided tours, themed fairs and markets, gastronomic campaigns and many other proposals that are as unique as the town of Besalú itself.
