DATE: January 22nd at 8am

Discover four small villages of medieval origin of the Empordà, visit the sanctuary of the Angels and enjoy a pleasant and completely flat two-hour walk from Ullastret to La Bisbal passing through the small rural village of Matajudaica and the imposing Castell d’Empordà.

– VISIT FOUR SMALL VILLAGES OF RURAL AIR AND MEDIEVAL ORIGIN

Unlike Pals or, to a lesser degree, Peratallada, the medieval town of Ullastret has managed to remain largely untouched by tourism. And it is a miracle, since Ullastret also hides a rich and beautiful medieval heritage. In the tiny Matajudaica, time seems to have stopped. An oasis of peace and peasant tranquility in the heart of the Empordà. Castell d’Empordà is another delicious, tiny and unknown district that hides two treasures: the fortress -currently a luxury hotel- that gave rise to the urban center and the beautiful church of Sant Martí de Llaneres. Madremanya is a small and beautiful rural town in the Gironès region with narrow streets and pretty stone houses.

– ENJOY A NICE AND EASY WALK IN THE MOST RURAL AND UNKNOWN EMPORDÀ.

This is a nice and pleasant two-hour walk (8 kilometers) on a flat path without technical difficulty that will allow us to enjoy the most rural and unknown Empordà.

– VISIT THE POPULAR SANTUARI DELS ÀNGELS, THE PLACE WHERE GALA AND DALÍ GOT MARRIED

This historic temple with inn is located almost five hundred meters high in the middle of nature, in the Gavarres massif, with extraordinary views of the Pla de Girona, the Costa Brava, the Pyrenees and the Montseny.

The history of the Santuari dels Àngels dates back to the beginning of the 15th century, when the first hermitage was built on this peak surrounded by forests and nature. The inn has eighteen rooms designed for the comfort and convenience of the visitor. All of them enjoy natural light and good views, have private bathrooms and are decorated in a modern and sober style.

The inn has dining rooms where it offers traditional cuisine, with specialties such as arròs dels Àngels (rice of the angels), Catalan-style cod, grilled meats and vegetables or homemade flan. The isolation of the place makes it an ideal place for astronomical observation.
