Nature, history, and sports

Banyoles is famous for its impressive lake, the largest in Catalonia, which has been the venue for major international events. It was an official sub-site for the 1992 Olympic Games in the rowing category and hosted the 2004 World Rowing Championship. The lake is not only ideal for practicing sports but also for enjoying nature in its purest form.

If you have time during your visit to Banyoles, we recommend taking a detour to the medieval village of Besalú, a true historical treasure located just 15 minutes away. With its famous medieval bridge and narrow cobblestone streets, Besalú will take you back in time and amaze you with its beauty and charm.
