Parked outside the 12th century airbnb near Olot that was home for a couple of nights
The mountains of Catalonia are home to beautiful villages dating back to medieval times.
Villages built across Clifford tops
Still with ancient paths and trails through the forest
Ancient churches
Villages that have stood millennia
Holding in their stony edifaces the history of Catalonia
The tale goes that James the 1st carried a golden shield when invading Catalonia
He was killed in battle
As he died his fingers dragged down shield leaving four bloodied stripes
The Catalonia flag four red stripes on a gold background.
Ps.
Thanks Judith and Juan for being wonderful hosts and Juan for sharing the tale of the Catalan flag.
Stunning scenery and I love the old towns! Go Doggies – one more day to go!
