    Author’s recommendation

    The churches in the Vall de Boí form the most remarkable complex of Romanesque buildings in Catalonia and were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. The churches of Boí, Santa Maria and Sant Climent de Taüll, Durro, Barruera, and Erill la Vall stand out. The Pantocrator of Sant Climent de Taüll is one of the most symbolic images of the complex.

    Roadbook

    These towns have magnificent Romanesque churches that were declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000. Recently, thanks to the latest technology, artworks in virtual reality can also be viewed in Sant Climent de Taüll, as well as the Casa del Parc in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park in Boí.

    Before starting the route through the Romanesque churches of the Boí Valley, it is highly recommended to make a stop in Erill la Vall. There is the “Romanesque Centre” (Centre d'Interpretació del Romànic), which provides the keys to understanding the history of the valley and its churches.

    The possible starting points of the route are the following:

    from Barruera to Erill la Vall (1,090 m)

    from Boí to Erill la Vall (1,250 m)

    from Boí to Taüll (1,265 m)

    from Boí to Durro (1,290 m)

    from Barruera to Durro (1,380 m)              

    The entire route can also be walked in one piece from and back to Barruera.
