Majestic Mountains; Architecture that predates the Notre Dame Cathedral; a way of life resisting the hustle and bustle of our contemporary society; this is just a taste of what awaits here in the Ripollés. Nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees Mountains, around 115km North of Barcelona, el Ripollés is a region steeped in the History of the Origins of Catalonia, boasting a rich Romanesque Architectural heritage. It is also the home to that most Catalan of liquors, Ratafia, being where the multi-generational bodegas that produce the stuff are to be found. Here you will find a people who take in the Nature by morning, but are sure to be back home for lunch - vino & vermouth being the strict norm. With it's abundant countryside and time-old traditions of agriculture, the region produces some top quality charcuterie, the kind that Europe is famous for.
