To capture one of the best views of the medieval city of Besalú, backed by the snow-capped Pyrenees, you'll need to walk slightly out of town.

From the tourist office, head across the car park in a southerly direction and take the road straight on that runs parallel to the river Fluvia. When you reach a t-junction, the right hand fork is signposted “camping,” but you’ll need to turn left. The tarmac road heads uphill. Keep following it until you reach a right hand turn that leads off into a field and towards a farmhouse. Around here is the brow of the hill and offers a stunning view down on to Besalú.

I’d recommend heading up here around 9 or 10am, in order to capture the city bathed in the early morning sunlight.

"Great hotel and will definitely stay there again. All the staff were lovely and the hotel was nice, clean, and once in your room, quiet. I didn't realize that the pool had no heating, so that was a bit of a bite even in warm climes. Breakfast got a bit repetitive and the tongs were a bit gross. But this is minor! "
