The trip was great! Amazingly run by the team and our guide Núria was lovely. The stop at Vic was enough to explore a bit of the town and the famous market. The views at Queralbs were stunning and got some lovely pictures. We also had enough time to take the cable car up from the valley and explore a bit of the trails.

Nuria was a fantastic guide—-very knowledgeable and easy to understand. The pace was just right, and she did a great job of making sure we knew how to get to highlights (and back!) during the on-your-own parts of the tour. Highly recommend seeing this part of Catalonia!

Marta was amazing. She made the group cohesive making sure she understood what each person was interested in and then made use the trip had something that met their interests. Also gave us great insights into cultural and political insights into Life in Spain. You can hike not at all or at he most about 400 feet down or up to cable car top.
