|
ROMANESQUE ANDORRA
The medieval art of the valley of Valira is unfairly eclipsed by the fame of the Romanesque in other parts of the Pyrenees. The church of Santa Coloma d’Andorra is an extremely important monument that has brought the chronology of the pre-Romanesque into question. The Principality also boasts twelve mural frescos, eight Lombard bell towers and other pieces of great worth. We discover all of this historical treasure.

Fishermen of Roses
We go with the men of Empordà on their age-old struggle with the sea and the north wind. A trade and tradition that has forged the character of a whole region.
Sant Antoni in Mallorca
We visit the festivals of Artà, Manacor and Sa Pobla, which pay homage to the saint between bonfires and devils, glosas and black sausages.
Moià
Birthplace of Rafael Casanova, Moià is a city with an especially rich history. We visit the prehistoric caves of Toll and its historic quarter, resplendent with noble houses.

We propose a full weekend in the capital of the Baix Camp region, a jewel of modernism and shopping city par excellence.
