Discover the Boí Valley with new eyes: guided tours between Romanesque, fire and stars
Visiting the Vall de Boí is much more than enjoying its landscapes: it's an immersion into the history, symbolism and traditions that have shaped this land for centuries. One of the most engaging ways to experience it is by joining a guided tour led by Roger Gras, a passionate cultural educator specialized in Romanesque art, the Falles fire festivals, and astronomy.
🔭 A tour that links three realms: art, tradition and the sky
The journey begins in Taüll, with an introduction to the Catalan Romanesque world. The Sant Climent church serves as a starting point to explore medieval architecture and its deep symbolic meanings. One of the most anticipated moments is the Pantocràtor video mapping, a technological recreation that brings the original murals back to life.
But this visit goes beyond art: it continues with a walk through the village streets, where the ancient Falles de Taüll fire ritual —recognized by UNESCO— is explained. This tradition has solar roots and millennia-old origins.
The final part of the experience leads to the Santeta viewpoint, from which the alignment of the valley's three bell towers with the sky can be observed. Here, a captivating legend is told: the love triangle of Vall de Boí, blending architecture, astronomy and local storytelling.
👨👩👧 A journey for all audiences
This guided route lasts approximately 3 to 4 hours, and is accessible from age 11+, suitable for all audiences, with an easy and smooth trail. It's an ideal activity for families, couples or groups of friends who want to discover the Vall de Boí through a cultural, symbolic and emotional lens.
With the expert guidance of Roger Gras, every stone, every celebration and every star becomes a key to understanding the extraordinary past and present of this valley.
