Winter in the Mountains of Catalonia
Bergueda, one of the comarcas (country) in Catalonia is situated to the north of Barcelona, Spain. Its capital Berga separates the more populated southern half called Baix Bergueda from northern comarca, Alt Bergueda. Â Alt Bergueda includes the pre-pyranean mountain range known for its scenic beauty. These mountain ranges starts at Berga. Els Roures, the popular catalonian restaurant is located close to the mountains.
Though it is a tough trek to these mountains, it offers enchanting views and tranquility. Rasos de Peguera, an erstwhile ski resort provides different outdoor activities including snowshoeing and trekking. This place is a favorite destination among families on holidays as they come together for sledding. The main lodge has a cozy atmosphere and you can see families sitting together around the fire-place. On one of these treks sponsored by the Tourism Department of Catalonia, I enjoyed beautiful views and a glimpse of Andorra.
Els Roures restaurant offers a warm and cozy atmosphere. The huge fire place lends an old world charm to this restaurant. Here you get traditional Berguerda dishes including local mushrooms. I had grilled sausages, sangria made with locally available berries, wild mushroom cannelloni, and the mushroom liqueur. I had a unique experience eating here and the lunch was extremely delicious.
When considering your options for accommodation, board and destination – Spain should always be a top choice. It’s the No1 holiday destination for British tourists, and it’s easy to see why. As a result of its huge popularity, almost every resort caters to lots of different holiday-makers. So you’ll find that there are both budget self-catering hotels and luxury five-star all inclusive holiday hotels all within the same area. It really depends on what you’re looking for in your holiday. A resort such as Marbella in the Costa del Sol has grown an excellent reputation as a sophisticated place to relax, so you can expect holidays to cost a little more here. Whereas Benidorm in Costa Blanca aims for cheaper prices, but that doesn’t mean it’s not just as much fun! Wherever you decide suits you best, you can be sure that the Sunmaster website will have holidays available to match your tastes.
