CATALONIA: PUIGCERDÀ

Recently I could make a brief visit to Puigcerdà in La Cerdanya after enjoying a lovely morning in the fortified village of Villefranche de Conflent (World Heritage by UNESCO) and a fantastic journey on the Train Jaune (Yellow Train) between this village and Mont-Louis (also a fortified village by Vauban and World Heritage by UNESCO).

Estany de Puigcerdà

I was in Puigcerdà only for an hour, where I could visit:

• Campanar de Santa Maria (Santa Maria Bell Tower)
• Plaça de Santa Maria (Santa Maria Square)
• Plaça dels Herois (Herois Square)
• Carrer Major (Main Street)
• L'Estany de Puigcerdà (Puigcerdà Pond)
