Barcelona Trip Overview
Explore the Pyrenees and admire its alpine vegetation and majestic peaks. After our arrival in a picturesque village of Queralbs, we will enjoy an exciting rack railway ride to the Nuria Valley at the altitude of 1954m. The iconic hotel and the shrine that host the Virgin of Nuria will suddenly appear as we enter the green valley on the train. Our explorations will begin with a refreshing stop at the local sacred spring Font de Sant Gil. If we look closely to the crystal clear pools beneath our feet, we will spot the local endemic brown trouts hovering in the stream. We will then continue to a higher section of the valley in order to soak in countless breathtaking sceneries and natural elements such as chirping marmots, gliding bearded vultures or perhaps grazing isards. We will find a suitable place for our picnic in the Bosc de la Verge. We will then visit the shrine of the Virgin of Nuria, the patron of fertility.
