At any point you can taste the cuisine of the region, which is made with products from the sea and the mountains. A few kilometers from the coast of the Costa Brava, the wild coast of the province of Girona, there is a medieval town. Its historic center is located on a hill, surrounded by plains that were originally marshland. You have to go back to the 9th century - the period to which this castle belongs - to find the first written reference to this town. Constant war confrontations meant that only the castle, a defensive structure, has been preserved over the centuries. It is a round Romanesque tower built between the 11th and 13th centuries. The 15-meter-high tower stands on a natural rock platform, which contains many Visigothic tombs. In the 15th century, it was used as a bell tower, hence the name "Torre de las Horas" (Tower of the Hours). #AprilGoodPlaces2025 #SpanishTravel #Catalonia
