Circular route from Barcelona for discovering Catalonia
Tailormade tours for this type of travel are the thing of dreams for all caravan lovers, as this makes planning much easier. With this in mind, Catalonia has a circular route spanning more than 2000 kilometres, starting and ending in Barcelona and covering more than 350 locations of interest. The Grand Tour of Catalonia is divided into five sections.The third of these, from Lleida to La Seu d`Urgell, is perhaps the most attractive for motorhome trips no matter what time of the year you are visiting. Why? The impressive scenic roads and natural landcscapes that it takes in, including Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Get ready to admire the medieval villages of Val d'Aran, the starry skies of theStarlight reserve in the Montsec mountain range or the Romanesque churches of Vall de Boí, declared a UNESCO World Heritage site, as well as being home to multiple hiking routes for all levels.This section of the itinerary boasts a variety of service areas and overnight campsites along its 357 kilometres, which we recommend dividing into five stages. One example is the Vielha e Mijaran camper park, equipped with excellent facilities and even a laundry service and electric bicycle rental. Its location, in the heart of the Pyrenees, is perfect for participating in winter sports at ski resorts including Boí Taüll, the highest in Catalonia, or the popular Baqueira Beret.
