Review:

Spain boasts many historic villages for visitors to uncover and Besalu, although it is located quite far off the beaten track, definitely deserves a spot on your list of interesting day trips. You enter the historic village by way of a fortified 11th century bridge; as you wander the winding cobblestone streets you will be surrounded by ancient buildings which were once monasteries, hospitals and churches. Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles dominate and photographers will be overwhelmed with choices. You can admire an ancient Jewish Bath-House, one of just a handful of surviving buildings of its kind in the world and visit the fascinating Museum of Miniatures. Soak up the atmosphere in a local restaurant while savoring delicious Catalan cuisine.
