The 12th-century Church of Sant Cristòfol de Beget is in the medieval village of Beget, which sits in the heart of the Alta Garrotxa region of Catalonia, Spain. Hikers can also use Beget as a starting point for the Camí de Nord (Northern Way), a trail through the ancient oak forests of the protected natural area of Alta Garrotxa, which follows a portion of the route taken by Spanish exiles fleeing to France during the Civil War (1936-1939). Romero and her team also work with Aínsa’s birding conservation initiatives; so, visitors can explore the birds of prey refuge at the Eco Museo de la Fauna Pirenaica’s (Pyrenees Bird Center) along the town’s fortress walls, or use the hotel’s on-site telescope from the glassed-in terrace to observe birds in their habitat.
