Susqueda
The Serra del Far defines the setting of the Sanctuary of El Far in Susqueda — its rocky, elevated ridge forms part of the Collsacabra upland in inland Catalonia. Dedicated to the Virgin of El Far, the sanctuary is a longstanding Marian place of pilgrimage and a defining landmark of this sparsely populated part of La Selva. Susqueda lies amid predominantly wooded highlands, where scattered farmsteads and cultivated clearings occupy the folds of the terrain. Deep valleys, ridgelines and Mediterranean woodland shape the area around El Far. It presents a quieter side of Catalonia, far from the densely built coast and closely tied to rural settlement, religious tradition and mountain roads.

Susqueda is best known within Catalonia for the Susqueda Reservoir, formed by a dam across the Ter River. Set in the wooded Guilleries range, the municipality lies between the inland Girona plains and the higher country toward Collsacabra. The reservoir forms part of the Ter basin’s water-management system and gives this sparsely settled area a distinctly rural character. Above the water stands the Romanesque sanctuary of Mare de Déu del Coll, a former Benedictine priory that reflects the region’s medieval religious heritage. Hill roads link scattered farmsteads and small settlements rather than an urban centre. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Ter valley and the Guilleries.

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.
