레 발스 드 발리라 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A jewel of Catalan Romanesque architecture and one of the most impressive in the Pyrenees. Its austere façade, stone cloister and the silence of the interior convey history and serenity in equal parts. Located in the heart of La Seu, surrounded by lively streets, terraces and shops. By mountain bike, it is a perfect cultural stop before or after a route through the Cadí or Segre: there are bike parking spaces nearby and fountains to fill your tank. Tip: avoid peak hours and get there early or at dusk, when the light caresses the stone and the atmosphere is pure charm.

A good bike ride

The Conflent Pass is an extraordinary natural viewpoint from which we can enjoy wonderful views. From the pass, if we follow the trail down towards the Santa Magdalena Valley (E), we would reach the Conflent huts, a place steeped in legends of smugglers and fugitives. Curiously, these huts are unique in that they are one of the few groups of Pyrenean huts that have a chapel. Also, near the Conflent Pass, we can visit two machine-gun nests. They are two of the many bunkers built by the Franco government at the end of the Spanish Civil War to combat the incursions of the Maquis. These bunkers are part of the so-called "Pyrenees Line," a group of nearly 10,000 fortifications and bunkers spread from Cap de Creus to the Basque Country.

The Cathedral of La Seu d'Urgell is a large Romanesque church from the 12th century and is unique in this style in all of Catalonia.
