We all enjoy visiting castles, but the experience is even more satisfying if the castle in question is associated with a legend. There are a good number of castles in the regions of Barcelona whose walls whisper tales of centuries past: chronicles of princesses and bandits, tales of animals capable of making a huge army flee in terror, or of evil witches... If your curiosity is awakened, pay close attention, because after reading these legends you’ll be eager to visit the places where they are said to have occurred, many moons ago.

Still today, the same water attracts many visitors, keen to discover the wells, springs, lavoirs and reservoirs spread throughout this medium-sized town.
