Gombren

Gombrèn is best known in Catalonia for its association with the legend of Count Arnau, one of the country’s enduring medieval tales. Set in the upper valley of the Merdàs River in the Ripollès, the small municipality lies beneath the Serra de Montgrony, a limestone ridge in the eastern Pyrenees. The story’s landscape extends to Sant Pere de Montgrony, a Romanesque church and former religious centre above the village, where tradition places the count’s spectral rides. Stone houses, pastureland and wooded slopes give Gombrèn a distinctly rural Pyrenean character, far from Catalonia’s coastal urban belt.
