General presentation
Vic et Osona
Market town, Catalan heritage, villages, cliffs of Collsacabra and inner countryside less than two hours from Barcelona.
The discovery of Vic and Osona revolves around Vic, Plaça Major de Vic and Rupit. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the countryside, heritage and natural spaces, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: mist possible in winter and less suitable for the beach. 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.
Place
Vic
Vic's nerve center is his great Plaça Major, lined with arcades and animated on market days. Around, the streets lead to the cathedral, the Roman temple and medieval or baroque facades, in a city of Osona where the stone takes warm tones by low light.
Place
Rupit
Rupit plays on the soft verticality of its houses and surrounding reliefs. A looped course captures its strengths, especially the points of view that open at the end of each climb. The charm of the place lies in the contrasts between narrow alleys and wide space.
Place
Tavertet
Tauvertet reveals itself in the combination of cliff edges, suspended villages and quiet paths. The look gets deeper when you alternate downhill and uphill, with short breaks to frame the views. In the daytime, the clearer light gives contrast to the terrain lines.
