A wonderful day in the Pyrenees - We loved the scenery from the vehicle, the train and the ski resort. The Vic markets were fabulous and Nu was great in advising us to purchase fresh food for lunch. The Quelbs village and church was delightful. Overall a wonderful day. Nu our guide had to deal with a couple of unexpected issues but did well.

Our small group was three, one couple and one single. It was great! - I believe this is a great experience and opportunity to see some of Spain that is NOT a BIG CITY. We stopped in and toured Vic on the way to the smaller towns and tram. The tram ride, and resort at the top were highlights. As were the little villages that we stopped at on the way back. Our guide, Sergio, had personal contacts in one town and got the key to get us into a church built in the 12th Century! It was amazing to 'feel' the age of the building. The door had a lock on it with a date stamped into it - 1802. It was 'like new' when compared to the actual age of the building. There was also a section of wall in the town that dated back to the Roman times. The overall scenery was quite beautiful - in spite of the fact that we had some rain/drizzle/fog for much of the day and trip. I was particularly pleased and surprised with the use of water - with viaducts and low-head-dams used to route the same water/stream through multiple hydro-electric facilities. It was truly an excellent use of a renewable, reusable, literally inexhaustible resource. Certainly some of the power for the electrically-powered tram railway was generated right at the use.

Great day trip from Barcelona - Unfortunately the weather was poor during our trip to the Nuria Valley. However our guide worked hard to make the experience fun and exciting for everyone. I loved our time in Queralbs. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of the area.
