...because of beautiful Baqueira.....



 

  






....Baqueira Beret, the white Winter wonderland just 3,5hours from Barcelona in the Vall d'Aran. Picturesque medieval pueblos, 3 mountains full of snow to ski and the perfect en-piste place to rest- the Moet Winter Lounge.

...because it is beautiful Baqueira time again....










...after Christmas in Australia, it is time to ski again! And Baqueira never disappoints. Located 3.5 hours from Barcelona, in the Val D'Aran, it is stunning and picturesque.....and has a Moet Bar on the slopes!

...because of the little villages, almost at the end of the world....


















...actually, just at the end of the Val D'Aran and Spain. 
Bausen and Canejan, are situated up the steep slopes of the Val D'Aran and less than 2 km from the border with France.  These old, remote villages have a long and fascinating history. And while they appear uninhabited because of the lack of people, they aren't (apparently!).

...because of stunning Salardú...





























...situated in the Vall D'Aran.  This medieval vilage (with a permanent poplulation of about 478) is picturesque at every point.  I am fascinated by the rich history of this isolated valley, one example being the thirteenth century sculptures that have survived in the church of Sant Andreu de Salardú.

... because Baqueira is beautiful....

















... from Viehla to Baqueira, the Val D'Aran is a picturesque valley peppered with medieval villages.  A place beautiful in the sunshine and in the snowfall... and only 3.5 hours from Barcelona.
