The best plans for this Holy Week
If you still don't know where to spend this Holy Week, we recommend taking a getaway to the Pyrenees and interior of Catalonia. These are the last days of opening to the ski slopes, the weather is good and there is a great recreational, cultural and sports offer to enjoy in incredible natural settings.
As always, at Grans Hotels de Catalunya we have the best charming hotels for a getaway. Keep an eye on our proposals for things to do and places to visit this Easter, and choose the perfect accommodation for your vacation. We will wait for you!
Enjoy the natural environment
Hiking, bike routes, adventure sports, skiing and snowboarding... The Pyrenees and the Catalan interior have a wide range of outdoor activities for all tastes and types of travelers. They are ideal destinations for families, couples or groups of friends, and especially for adventurous tourists.
Some of the essential places to visit in this area of Catalonia are La Vall de Núria, the Aigüestortes national park, La Vall d'Aran or the Congost de Mont-Rebei. If the weather is good, it is also a good time to take advantage and visit the Cerdanya ski slopes, where you can practice all types of snow sports. For those who want to be near the sea, this is one of the best times of the year to visit Cap de Creus and enjoy the views of the Mediterranean.
Discover culture and history
Not only are the landscapes of northern Catalonia incredibly beautiful, they also have great architectural and cultural wealth. The Pyrenees and Alt Empordà are full of churches and monasteries that are part of an immense Romanesque heritage. We recommend visiting the hermitages of the Boí Valley, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes, the Pont de Besalú or the Monastery of Ripoll.
If you want to see yourself transported to the past, you can also visit some of the beautiful medieval towns in Catalonia such as Besalú, Castelló d'Empúries and Rupit. They are movie places where you can get lost in the cobbled streets and visit the most emblematic monuments. In most of these towns you will find museums that will make your experience even more educational.
Try the best of Catalan gastronomy
All Grans Hotels de Catalunya destinations have a very interesting gastronomic proposal. From the cuisine of Empordà, which is nourished directly by the waters of the Mediterranean, through the typical dishes of traditional Catalan gastronomy, with fresh products from the mountains and the orchard, our hotels have restaurants of the highest quality, where you will feel like home while you enjoy your food.
If you are looking for specific recommendations, you cannot miss the rice dishes from Pals, Llafranc and Palamós, or the Aranese stew and the trinxat from Cerdanya, ideal for athletes who need to regain energy. The Garrotxa Volcanic Cuisine is also a very interesting proposal if you like simple cuisine based on local products. In the Pyrenees, you cannot miss trying the beef, which has a designation of origin.
Do you still have doubts? Dare to choose one of our charming hotels in Catalonia to spend these Easter holidays. We have destinations and establishments for all tastes, with excellent accommodation proposals where you can disconnect and take advantage of these days.
