The Costa Brava/Catalonia region
The house en typical Catalan limestone style, modernised with respect for the original style, is situated in the Vic-region. Vic is the capitol of the region, situated in the middle of the “plana de Vic”, which is a platau of perhaps 30-40 km2 surrounded by all sides of the mountains. The house provides a perfect base for relaxation. Read a book, take a swim in the pool and enjoy the hot summer nights on the terrace with a glass of the local cava or red wine from the Catalan Penedes district.
The landscape is the greenest area in Catalonia and hence, the region has traditionally been dominated by agriculture. Now, it is more mixed, also because Vic is one of the university cities of Catalonia. Increasingly, people from Barcelona as well choose to live in Vic area, as the region is only 40 minutes away from Barcelona. Vic is one of Catalonia’s most lovely historic old towns. Do not miss the market Tuesdays and Saturdays, the Cathedral and the Episcopal and Leatherworks Museums, one of the most important in the world. Or simply enjoy the historical centre city with cafés and restaurants on every small square. The Vic region is known to have a lot of fine restaurants, many of them even with one or two Michelin stars. Around Vic, you can enjoy excursions to Montseny Natural Park or the Guilleries, get to know the Romanic Art of the region or practice sports such as golf, cycling or horse riding. The central location in Catalonia makes for instance, the historical city Girona, Costa Brava, The Dalí Museum (Museo Teatro Dalí) or the Penedés wine region accessible in one-day excursions.
In the winter, the ski-resorts in Andorra and the Pyrenees is only a 45 minutes drive away. In the summer you can enjoy the tracks of the Pyrenees or for the adventurous, paragliding or climbing. The spring (March-May) in Catalonia is sunny, green and comfortable warm. The daily temperature reaches 16-22 degrees.
