Associació Rutes del Romànic

The Camí Oliba is a long-distance path (GR-151) that connects some of the most emblematic works of Catalan Romanesque art. It runs between Montserrat and the Pyrenees and passes through some of the most historic cities and towns in Old Catalonia, such as Ripoll and Sant Joan de les Abadesses. It crosses the inland and mid-mountain landscape of the inland counties in an undemanding itinerary and surrounded by high value-added tourist and commercial services. The Camí Oliba is a real museum in the middle of nature. It is art, culture and history in its essence, in spaces almost unchanged over time. It is a journey through the origins of Catalonia, when figures such as Bishop and Abbot Oliba decided to repopulate and Christianize these lands by planting them in churches and monasteries. The Association promotes this route which includes public and private services (accommodation, restaurants, guided tours …) as well as has an agreement with several receptive travel agencies in the territory that offer tourist packages. The product is aimed at a very specific target of hiking and culture lovers.
