Religious sites, a medieval castle, endless salt caves, centuries-old town walls. How many more reasons do you need to visit Cardona and take a trip into the past?
Cardona is a historical town whose strategic position made it key. It combines all the charm of a medieval village with unbeatable natural surroundings. The Castle of Cardona, which dates from the 8th century, looks over a historic centre that has remained mostly unchanged for centuries, and offers spectacular views of the salt mountain that lies within walking distance.
Take advantage of one of our many cheap trips to Cardona to discover the historic old quarter, which was declared a national site of cultural interest in 1992. Known as “The Impenetrable Castle” thanks to the fact that no one ever managed to take it by force, visitors can’t help but be struck by its aura of grandiosity.
Take advantage of one of our trips to Cardona to visit the nearby salt mountain, and be amazed by the salt mine that served as the main economic engine of the area from the Neolithic Age until well into the 20th century. Visit the church of Sant Miquel and wonder at its original 11th-century architecture, and later fall in love with the local cuisine, which has managed to preserve tradition without losing sight of new culinary trends. After you’ve eaten, head over to Plaza del Mercado and pick up a couple of local hand-made products.
If you’re feeling in a more adventurous mood, Cardona offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy a nature walk, along natural routes that you can explore on foot or by bike. These historical routes will let you see such wonders as the salt mills, the border road and the Salt Route.
