Santa Pau
Santa Pau, in the La Garrotxa region of Girona, is one of the most beautiful medieval villages in Catalonia. Located in the heart of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, among volcanoes, forests and volcanic landscapes, it preserves one of the best-preserved medieval ensembles in the province, including its castle, arcaded main square and the church of Santa Maria.
Nearby are the volcanoes of Santa Margarida, Croscat and Rocanegra. The area is ideal for hiking, cycling, exploring the Greenways, horse riding or enjoying the popular hot-air balloon flights over the volcanoes. Santa Pau is also famous for its Santa Pau beans (fesols de Santa Pau), one of Catalonia's best-known local products.
The selection of rural hotels in La Garrotxa, many located in former stone farmhouses with swimming pools and surrounded by nature, makes Santa Pau an ideal getaway for couples and families. Its location also allows visitors to discover charming villages such as Besalú, Castellfollit de la Roca and Rupit.
