Barcelona Inland: In the Heart of Catalonia
Located in Santa Maria de Merlès, we are the perfect meeting point between two regions with unique personalities: the imposing Berguedà and the serene Lluçanès. This strategic location in the north of the Barcelona province isn’t just a spot on a map; it’s the gateway to a world of unforgettable experiences, designed for lovers of sport, wellness, and authenticity.
Berguedà: Nature, Mountains, Tradition, and Heritage
If sport is your passion, Berguedà is your kingdom. This is a land of contrasts, where the peaks of the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park and the iconic Pedraforca mountain challenge you at every turn. It is a paradise for hiking and adventure, with many areas for climbing, canyoning, or via ferratas. For cyclists, Berguedà is a sanctuary. Quiet roads and spectacular landscapes will lead you to conquer some of Catalonia’s most legendary mountain passes: Coll de Pradell, now on the radar of professional cycling, Coll de Pal, Coll de la Creueta, Coll de la Trapa, or Rasos de Peguera. Check it out!
But Berguedà is much more than just adrenaline. It’s a region with a soul forged by history. Let yourself be charmed by medieval villages like Bagà or Gironella, discover Romanesque gems like Sant Quirze de Pedret and the Portella Monastery, and experience ancient traditions like the Patum of Berga, a UNESCO World Heritage festival.
Lluçanès: A Slower Pace and Flavors of the Land
Just a few minutes from La Serra, the landscape softens into the Lluçanès region. This lesser-known but captivating area is the essence of well-being and rural life. Its rolling hills are ideal for relaxing walks or mountain bike rides, far from the crowds. Its quiet roads, winding through green and wild landscapes, are a treasure for cyclists.
Here, the rhythm is set by nature. Village by village, like in Alpens or Perafita, you’ll uncover a gastronomic treasure based on local and seasonal products. Weekly markets, artisan producers, and a traditional cuisine create a true feast for the senses. Lluçanès is the perfect counterpart to the energy of Berguedà; the ideal place to disconnect, breathe deeply, and savor authenticity.
A retreat in the heart of Catalonia, a place of peace and movement, of everything you need. We can’t wait to share this corner of the world with you.
