With the winter getting closer, we wanted to check up the Catalan Pyrenees and get a first feel of the Spanish snow.
Following the recommendation of a Catalan friend, we headed for Lles de Cerdanya, a small mountain village, 1500m altitude, only 2 hours drive away from Barcelona.
The place to stay is called Cal Rei (www.lles.net/cal.rei), it is a casa rural, the equivalent of the Italian agriturismi and French gîtes ruraux.
It is an old house full of charm, very nicely restored by the owners Lluis and Piluca, the views over the Serra del Cadi, on the other side of the valley, are just amazing, and Lluis does a good cooking in the evening based on local dishes, with everyone eating at the same long table.
There are great walks from the nordic ski resort which is 10mn away by car, at 2000m, the Estany de Llori for example, a little mountain lake.
For a good Arroz you can go to Cal Lliuret in Travesseres, a tiny village on the way back to the valley, good food and great settings!
