BARCELONA: MURA

The road from the village of Pont de Vilomara to Mura, the last ten kilometers of our journey, was narrow and winding. However, it was worth driving those kilometers because we enjoyed a lot walking around the beautiful cobbled streets of Mura, a small village of stone houses with a fantastic Romanesque church. Mura is also the entrance to the Natural Park of Sant Llorenç del Munt i l'Obac. So you can also enjoy routes in this splendid protected natural environment.

On the right you can see the romanesque church of Sant Martí in Mura

The places I liked the most of Mura were:

• Environment of Mura
• Cobbled Streets in Mura
• Romanesque church of Sant Martí
• Chapel of Sant Antoni
• Gorja del Pare
