Vall de Núria
Núria is a beautiful valley in the Pyrenees where centuries ago a Sanctuary devoted to Maria was built. The small carving of Our Lady of Núria has been throughout the centuries an object of great devotion.

This small town of Ripollès region grew around a monastery founded back in 887 by the Count Wilfred the Hairy.
Ripoll is considered the cradle of Catalonia because of its history. Surrounded by rivers and mountains, and close to the Pyrenees, it keeps an impressive medieval monastery. This gem of Romanesque architecture has a really well preserved façade from the XIIth century that is absolutely outstanding.
