What can I do in Bàscara and its holiday cottages?

A town with a lot of history. This is Bàscara, a municipality in the Alt Empordà, nestled right on the border with the Baix Empordà, which includes the towns of Calabuig, les Roques and Orriols. An ideal town for lovers of cultural tourism and nature that also has one of the most popular living nativity scenes in the province of Girona.

The history of Bàscara and its surroundings

At least since the beginning of the 9th century, the town of Bàscara was the possession of the bishops of Girona. The first document in which it is mentioned is from the year 817, following a trial in which the boundaries of the Baschara villa were set. Its situation as a fortified town on the main road from Girona to France accentuated its strategic importance. In fact, in 1675, Bàscara was taken by the French, who established a base camp there for the siege of Girona. During the sieges of 1808 and 1809, French troops reoccupied the town until, at the end of the war, General Suchet blew up the fortifications.

What to do during your stay at a tourist accommodation in Bàscara

Visit the historic site of the town

Bàscara, as we have explained, still preserves a walled part and an important old town. So, if you're staying in a holiday cottages in Bàscara, you can't miss the historic site of the town, with the walls and the remains of the episcopal castle or the church of Sant Iscle, declared Cultural Assets of National Interest. Another must-see are the remains of the priory of Sant Nicolau de Calabuig and the church of Sant Feliu de Calabuig. Without forgetting the castle-palace of Orriols, a building from the 16th-17th centuries with a Renaissance facade that is worth seeing.

Walk around Bàscara

If you like hiking and are lovers of active tourism, you're in luck. You can go on excursions in the vicinity of the Fluvià river and discover the natural springs and caves in the area. In addition, one of the two sections of the Way of St. James on its way through Catalonia, passes through Bàscara. The route has two variants that converge in Medinyà: you can go through Orriols, Viladasens and Cervià de Ter or through Vilademuls and Terradelles. Both options allow you to get to know small agricultural and livestock villages.

SergioLoft Vilafreser - Couple

Insufficient jacuzzi, the rest excellent

The issue with the jacuzzi water needs to be addressed. I understand the intention to save water, and that there is a daily limit, but this limit must at least allow its use once, and right now it is very insufficient. For the rest, very good, actually.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your comment, Sergio. Upon arrival, we always leave the jacuzzi full and ready for use. As we inform in the stay document, in winter the hot water tank (300 liters) can take up to five hours to reheat completely after using it. We appreciate your observation and are pleased to know that, otherwise, the stay has been very good. See you soon!.

Quick resolution and comfortable stay

It is a very comfortable restored old farmhouse. We thank Naturaki for the speed in resolving an incident due to access to the house because of a lock blocking problem.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your review. We are pleased that you enjoyed the farmhouse and found it comfortable. We also appreciate your understanding with the incidence of the lock; we always try to act as quickly as possible. See you soon!

SalvadorMas Frigola - With the family

Improvements to make at Mas Frigola

The kitchen stoves do not work, 3 out of 5. The barbecue grills could be improved. The shower of a room. The best thing about Mas Frigola, for me, is the combination of kitchen, dining room and fireplace in one single room.

Naturaki respond: Thank you very much for your opinion and for highlighting the kitchen, dining room and fireplace area. Regarding the stoves, you warned us when you were leaving that three of them were burning very little, and they have already been reviewed: now they all work correctly. About the shower, we did not detect any anomaly, although it could be that it had a bit less pressure or some occasional dripping. In recent weeks, improvements have also been made, such as the installation of glass in a room bathroom and the renovation of the room doors. Thanks for the visit!.
