Camprodon: Beget
Few places in Catalonia have a history as closely tied to Romanesque architecture as Beget. Set in the Alta Garrotxa, this small settlement occupies a narrow valley in the Pyrenean foothills beside the Riera de Beget, enclosed by wooded slopes. Its defining monument is the Church of Sant Cristòfol, a 12th-century Romanesque building with a tall square bell tower marked by paired openings. The church preserves the Majestat de Beget, a celebrated Romanesque polychrome wooden figure of Christ. Stone houses, narrow lanes and bridges follow the folds of the valley, creating a notably cohesive historic fabric. Beget forms part of the municipality of Camprodon in the Ripollès comarca, near the French border.

Camprodon straddles the meeting of the Ter and Ritort rivers in Catalonia’s Ripollès district of the Pyrenees, a position that shaped it as a mountain market town on routes toward France. The arched Pont Nou crosses the Ter at its centre, while the Romanesque church of Sant Pere preserves the heart of a former Benedictine monastery. Composer Isaac Albéniz was born here, and early-20th-century summer villas recall Camprodon’s long popularity with Catalan holidaymakers. Wooded slopes and high Pyrenean valleys surround the town, following the Ter towards Setcases. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Catalan Pyrenees.

Catalonia combines Mediterranean ease with rugged inland terrain in a way that reflects its position between the Pyrenees and Spain’s eastern coast. In northeastern Spain, the region extends from the coves of the Costa Brava to high mountain valleys and the Ebro Delta. Barcelona is its largest city and cultural reference point, known for Antoni Gaudí’s still-unfinished Sagrada Família. Inland, the serrated massif of Montserrat rises near Catalonia’s geographic centre and is home to the Benedictine monastery of Santa Maria de Montserrat. Catalan is co-official with Spanish, and the region’s language, cuisine and traditions give everyday life a distinct identity.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
