When the freezing temperatures arrive and the landscapes are covered in snow, a rural house becomes the perfect retreat. This is an ideal time to enjoy magical moments and tranquility, thanks to the calm offered by rural environments. Whether in the heart of the Pyrenees, in the Ripollès region, or in the peaceful Baix Empordà, our proposal is to experience an authentic stay, either at El Roure in Molló or Mas Darovie in Foixà, two rural houses designed to create unforgettable memories.
Winter is a special season, full of opportunities to enjoy the warmth of a fireplace, discover postcard-perfect landscapes, and indulge in the fun of snow activities or the serenity of medieval villages.
One of the key highlights of winter is the fireplace, and at both El Roure and Mas Darovie, this space serves as the heart of the home. After a day filled with activities, there’s nothing better than sitting by the fire, sharing stories, playing board games, or simply relaxing with a cup of hot tea.
Our rural houses are equipped with games. At Mas Darovie, you can enjoy classics like Monopoly, Scrabble, Parchís, dominoes, and cards. Additionally, we offer a library room, a ping-pong table, and, outside, a trampoline.
At El Roure rural house, we also have a ping-pong table and a foosball table, both located in the games room on the ground floor. There’s also a play kitchen for young children, card decks, and some board games available. Outside, you’ll also find a trampoline.
Although it’s not swimming season, the Camí de Ronda is a must-do activity in Baix Empordà during winter. This is the perfect time to enjoy the unique landscape of the Costa Brava without the crowds. It’s a moment to escape into a serene silence, broken only by the waves crashing against the coastal rocks.
One of the most recommended routes is the path connecting Palamós and Calella de Palafrugell, passing through charming coves like Cala Estreta and Cap Roig. With moderate difficulty, this trail offers stunning views of the sea and cliffs, making it ideal for photography enthusiasts.
Another noteworthy route connects Begur with Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda, showcasing landscapes that blend the deep blue of the sea with the green of Mediterranean forests. These walks are perfect for enjoying nature in peace and discovering the winter beauty of the Costa Brava.
A short distance from our rural house Mas Darovie de Foixà, the Montgrí Massif stands as a perfect destination for hiking and nature lovers. This mountain range, crowned by the iconic Montgrí Castle, offers an extensive network of trails for all levels.
One of the most popular hikes is the ascent to the castle, a moderate trek that rewards hikers with breathtaking views of Baix Empordà and the Costa Brava from its summit. Other routes, like the one connecting Torroella de Montgrí to l’Escala, allow visitors to explore the region’s diverse landscapes, passing through Mediterranean forests, cliffs, and agricultural fields.
The Montgrí is also ideal for families, with easier trails that combine adventure and discovery. The tranquility and beauty of its surroundings make this massif a perfect escape to enjoy nature in its purest form.
Baix Empordà is also renowned for its rich cultural heritage. In addition to the Museum of Archaeology of Ullastret, you can visit the Museum Gala-Dalí Castle in Púbol, where you can explore the story of love and creativity between Salvador Dalí and Gala. In La Bisbal d’Empordà, the Terracotta Ceramics Museum offers workshops and exhibitions to learn about the region’s artisanal tradition.
During January and February, towns like La Bisbal d’Empordà and Peratallada host weekly markets and gastronomic fairs where you can taste local products like cheeses, cured meats, and other delicacies. You can also explore various antique and second-hand markets, such as the L’Encant de l’Empordà flea market in Verges, open every Sunday from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. In Corçà, the Vintage Market takes place every Saturday and Sunday, offering a treasure trove of unique finds.
The Ripollès region offers a fascinating historical heritage. A must-see is the Monastery of Santa Maria de Ripoll, an architectural jewel and one of the epicenters of Catalan Romanesque art. This monastery, founded by Guifré el Pilós, is renowned for its impressive portal and rich history.
Nearby, the Monastery of Sant Joan de les Abadesses provides another exceptional example of Catalan Romanesque art. The journey between these two monasteries is not only a trip back in time but also an opportunity to learn more about the origins of medieval Catalonia.
The Ripollès region is rich in history and tradition, where medieval bridges serve as symbols of the past and testimonies of the architecture that connected towns and cultures. The Pont de la Cabreta, connecting the towns of Campdevànol and Ribes de Freser, is an impressive example of medieval engineering. Its stone arch majestically spans the Freser River, offering spectacular views and unparalleled photographic charm.
In Sant Joan de les Abadesses, you can visit the Pont Vell, an emblematic structure dating back to 1138. However, in the 15th century, the bridge was damaged by an earthquake and subsequently rebuilt in a Gothic style. During the Spanish Civil War, the bridge was dynamited and later reconstructed with its Gothic vault and Romanesque-style arches.
The famous Pont Nou of Camprodon is a must-visit. With its large central arch and stunning views of the Ter River and its tributary, the Ritort, this bridge is one of the town’s most iconic landmarks. It’s an ideal spot for a stroll to enjoy the picturesque surroundings. These bridges not only connect physical spaces but also stories and traditions, making Ripollès a unique region to explore.
The Ripollès region also boasts museums such as the Ethnographic Museum of Ripoll, which explores the traditional life of the area, and the Compte Arnau Interpretation Centre in Sant Joan de les Abadesses. To end the day with a magical touch, don’t miss the light and sound show at the Mirador del Drac, offering an immersive experience in the heart of the mountains.
The mountains of Ripollès are a classic destination for snow lovers. With two main ski resorts, Vallter 2000 and Vall de Núria, this region offers slopes for all skill levels and activities for families and groups of friends.
At Vallter 2000, located at over 2,000 meters above sea level, you can enjoy excellent slopes for alpine skiing and snowboarding. Beginners will find specially adapted areas to start, while experienced skiers can challenge themselves on more difficult runs. Additionally, this is an ideal place for ski touring or snowshoeing, with routes such as the Ter River’s source trail, which offers spectacular views.
Vall de Núria, accessible via its iconic rack railway, combines ski slopes with recreational activities like sledding or snowshoeing routes to discover its snowy landscapes. The resort also provides equipment rental services, ski schools, and rest areas where you can enjoy a hot chocolate with stunning valley views.
