Many of us tend to associate Romanesque art with austerity and simplicity, discreetly blending in with nature. And this is very true, especially of the small churches built in the 11th and 12th centuries in mountain villages. However, it can also be a rich and complex artistic style that reflects the aristocratic sensibility of the monks who lived in the monasteries at that time.
If you’re in love, celebrate it! We propose a route through Romanticism, a 19th-century cultural movement associated with musicians, poets and inflamed passions. In the regions of Barcelona, the movement coincided with a series of important (albeit more prosaic) historical events, such as industrialisation, urban planning initiatives and the revival of the Catalan language. Surprise your partner with something different!
Places such as Montserrat Monastery, Cardona Castle or the Montseny Natural Park and Biosphere Reserve are fixtures on the list of must-see places in the regions of Barcelona. But there are also other marvellous yet little-known places that are well worth visiting, even though you won’t find them in most travel guides. Here are seven of them.
