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.

Hola Canela988! Gracias por tu comentario y me alegro que te haya encantado tu visita a mi blog. Yo también ha visitado el tuyo. Tu post de Mura es muy interesante con información detallada y también me ha hecho ilusión el post de Can Déu porque he ido mucho y me parece un lugar encantador.

Hi, your blog post got me interested in visiting Mura for a day trip! Is it possible to get by with English? Also, I'm thinking of visiting Mura and Montserrat in one day. Do you think that's too much to fit in one day? Thanks!
