Three hundred lakes and not a single road through.
Experience
Three hundred lakes and not a single road through.
The edit
Catalonia's only national park — Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici — is a granite world of nearly three hundred glacial lakes, twisted-water meadows that give the park its name, and skies that belong to golden eagles and lammergeiers. No private cars enter; you arrive by 4x4 taxi or on foot, which is precisely the point.

Below the Park
Pair the mountains with the valley's UNESCO Romanesque churches — the video mapping at Sant Climent de Taüll is quietly moving.
