Hostalric Attractions And Things To Do

Step back into the Middle Ages in Hostalric, one of Catalonia’s best-preserved medieval fortified villages, where the imposing 13th-century Castell de Hostalric—with its 12-meter-high walls, seven towers, and panoramic walkways—crowns the hilltop offering breathtaking views over the village, the lush Montseny Massif, and the Vallès Oriental plain. Wander the narrow, car-free streets of the perfectly intact old town enclosed by the original stone walls, explore the historic Plaça Major with its arcaded houses and lively cafés, and climb the ramparts for sunset vistas that feel straight out of a storybook—all in a quiet, authentic Catalan gem that perfectly balances profound medieval heritage, serene natural surroundings, and warm local hospitality just 1 hour from Barcelona and 30 minutes from Girona.

Savor hearty Catalan escudella stew, fresh botifarra sausage with mongetes, sweet crema catalana, and crisp Montseny craft beers amid medieval stone arches, mountain breezes, and the unmistakable sense of a place where time has stood still in perfect harmony.

Hostalric isn’t just a destination—it’s Catalonia’s most authentic and beautifully preserved medieval walled village escape—plan your Hostalric adventure today!
