General presentation
Cardona and Solsona
Castle, salt mountain, small episcopal town and Catalan interior landscapes between Bages and pre-Pyrénées.
To understand what Cardona and Solsona are, you must look at the side of Cardona Castle, Cardona Salt Mountain and Solsona. These places give us the opportunity to see a territory marked by heritage, countryside and natural spaces and allow us to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: short stay and spaced sites. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Heritage
Cardona Castle
The castle of Cardona explores like a succession of thicknesses: exterior courtyard, interior piercings, carved details and views towards the edges. Entering into this alternation of spaces makes the understanding of the place much more concrete. Gold hour highlights the volumes of the fortification.
Place
Solsona
Solsona offers a balance between ancient core and quieter edges, with a walk that reveals its viewing angles along the streets. The place becomes alive when you take the time of transitions and side passages. In the morning, the legible facades tell their matter without precipitation.
Place
Olius
Olius brings together a small rural core, the church Sant Esteve and a surprising modernist cemetery, drawn in a landscape of rocks and pines. The visit has something discreet: little noise, short paths, and stone details that dialogue with the Solsonès campaign.
