Besalú
Undoubtedly one of the most charming medieval villages in Catalonia, Besalú is steeped in history dating back to the early Middle Ages. Sitting on the shores of the Fluvià river, the ancient town centre has kept many of its original features including irrigated vegetable gardens attached to the 10th century Benedictine monastery and a charming main square replete with cute cafés and traditional restaurants.
