# Garrotxa

## Catalonia

![Panorama of Beget](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248633958021926/5a1c8288-a116-496d-8f01-2f0b03c449fc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh)

![To capture one of the best views of the medieval city of Besalú, backed by the snow-capped Pyrenees, you'll need to walk slightly out of town.

From the tourist office, head across the car park in a southerly direction and take the road straight on that runs parallel to the river Fluvia.  When you reach a t-junction, the right hand fork is signposted “camping,” but you’ll need to turn left.  The tarmac road heads uphill.  Keep following it until you reach a right hand turn that leads off into a field and towards a farmhouse.  Around here is the brow of the hill and offers a stunning view down on to Besalú.

I’d recommend heading up here around 9 or 10am, in order to capture the city bathed in the early morning sunlight.
