Rupit and Tavertet are two beautiful medieval villages located 1h30min drive from the city of Barcelona. Spending the day walking through these two villages, leaving themselves away by their calm and quiet, and enjoying a stroll through Collsacabra and the fantastic views of the Sau reservoir are some of the best activities you can do in the northern area of Barcelona.

Thank you for your detailed blog. I am coming to Barcelona in May and am looking for places to visit in Cataluña. I especially like the small medieval villages. Do you know of small pensións to stay in Siurana and Rupit/ Tavertet? I would even love to stay with a local family to experience the culture more first hand.

Hello Belinda,
ResponderEliminarFirst of all, thanks for your comment.
Regarding pensions in Siurana, I would recommend La Siuranella (website http://www.siuranella.com/).
Concerning Rupit and Tavertet, you can try to find a similar accommodation on the website www.toprural.com.

Hi Frank,
ResponderEliminarI am looking for information about Rupit and see your blog, very nice pictures, thank you so much!
I have some small questions:
Is Tavertet far from Rupit? I know there is bus coming to Rupit from Barcelona but not sure about the Rupit-Tavertet route. What kind of transportation available?
I really want to see the cliff of Tavertet but it is so little information.
Thanks again,
Trang
Hi Bingo,
EliminarThank you for your comment. Tavertet is located 11 kilometers from Rupit, so it's relatively close. I've been searching in Internet and I couldn't find any bus route which passes through Tavertet, so the only way to go to Tavertet from Rupit would be by car.
