WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

A beautiful excursion awaits us with 2 short walks (Total 4 km)
Everyone has heard of Gaudí, but few know the Castle-Monastery d’Escarnolbou. What do they have in common?
We know that nature is at the center of Gaudí’s works: the vegetation, the rocks, the trees, the caves, the insects and the colors of the forests, the sea and the earth.
Hoy vamos a descubrir el parecido entre lo que realmente inspiró a Gaudí para la realización de su obra.
A place very close to the castle of the Escarnolbou monastery,
We will be surprised with the views.
We will take a short walk around the castle. Spectacular rocks, bucolic vegetation, unbeatable views. It’s unique.
After the visit we continue,
It is here where you discover landscapes that have fascinated the most universal Catalan architect. Contemplating its unique geology, as Gaudí did in his time, brings us back to his masterpieces and to the elements that made them unique, such as the skylights and chimneys of La Pedrera, the balconies of Casa Batlló or the famous dragon in Park Güell.
This simple 2 km route, which runs along a rocky path, has another great reward: letting your gaze sail over the sea of panoramic views that can be seen from here.
We will end this visit in the picturesque town of Argentera.
