 Just before the French border, in the Natural Park of the Albera Mountains, stands the amazingly well-preserved Castle of Requesens. Built by the Counts of Roselló in the 11th Century, the Castle has had several owners, held many different names and undergone various renovations over the last few hundred years. While closed to the public a majority of the time, STA has been granted visitation.
 An hour and a half north of Barcelona, well be driving up into the dense woods of the eastern Pyrenees. After rounding one final turn suddenly the Castle looms above us on top of the hill. The next couple of hours are spent exploring the endless passageways and rooms of the huge fortress, and climbing to the top of towers to behold the incredible views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. A leisurely lunch at a rustic mountaintop restaurant provides the perfect ending to the journey.

We had a fabulous time on the Camino de Santiago! Everything worked as
it should have and all contact we had with anyone associated with
EATours was very friendly, very helpful and totally professional. You
can be sure that we will be passing the word. A real pleasure...
