capital of the Osona region of Barcelona

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Barcelona (Region) Vic is located on the banks of the Med River, near the impressive Sau Reservoir. A Neoclassical cathedral dominates its secluded historic district, brimming with attractions. In the Middle Ages, the city was divided into two parts: one centered around the Moncada Castle and the other around the cathedral. Today, the regional capital boasts a secluded historic district centered around the impressive cathedral, which also serves as the seat of the Archbishop. Built in the late 18th century, this Neoclassical temple's most notable feature is the series of frescoes inside by Josep María Sert. A stroll around Vic also reveals iconic landmarks such as the Episcopal Palace, built next to the cathedral; the arcaded main square, also known as the Plaza Mayor; the Roman Temple; the Monastery of San Domenech; and the Church of La Pieta. A few kilometers from this location, we found one of the area's best hotels, the Parador de Turismo de Vic-Sau, offering impressive views of the surroundings. Surrounded by forests and the waters of the Sau Reservoir, this hotel is an ideal retreat for those seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of the big city. After visiting Vic, travelers can continue to the 11th-century Monastery of Sant Pere de Casserres. On the way to the Pyrenees, we'll see Olot, Ripoll, and the volcanic area of ​​La Garrotxa, a declared nature reserve. To the south lies Manresa, home to the famous Cathedral of Santa María and Santa Cova. #AprilDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
