Discover the Magic of Besalú 

Join me for a walking tour through Besalú, one of the most beautiful medieval towns in Catalonia.
 Its cobbled streets, stone arches, and charming squares will transport you centuries back in time. 
This picturesque town sits on the banks of the Fluvià River, crossed by a striking medieval bridge — one of the most iconic in Catalonia. The bridge was not only the main entrance to the town but also a key part of its defensive system. 
Until the 12th century, Besalú was the capital of a county and the residence of the Counts of Tallaferro. After losing its political importance, it became a quiet rural village — which is exactly what allowed it to preserve its unique medieval charm.

The Jewish Heritage of Besalú 

In Besalú’s ancient Jewish quarter, you’ll find 13th-century ritual baths (mikvé) — one of the rarest surviving examples of medieval Jewish culture in Europe.
