What you'll see

Rupit es un de los pueblos mas bonitos del mundo. Ha sido elegido por la Organización Mundial del Turismo como el mejor pueblo del mundo (el año 2023). El camino desde Barcelona en coche dura aproximadamente 1h30. Es un pueblo de origen medieval que aún conserva el apsecto encantador de sus casas de piedra de los siglos XVI-XVII. En Rupit hay una cascada El Salt de Sallent de altura 82 metros , es una especie de versión catalana del Gran Cañón.El aspecto arquitectónico de la ciudad se ha conservado desde sus inicios, los siglos XVI y XVII. Según las leyes locales, aquí están prohibidos los edificios modernos que no correspondan al estilo arquitectónico de esa época. Aquí hay varias atracciones principales, una de ellas es el puente peatonal colgante que conecta las partes moderna y antigua de la ciudad. Caminando sobre el acantilado a lo largo del puente, se encontrará en el centro histórico, que consta de solo tres calles.
La calle más antigua, la calle del Fossar, está pavimentada con lava procedente de rocas volcánicas procedentes de las erupciones de volcanes previamente activos situados a 30 km de Rupit. Otro atractivo notable es la Iglesia de San Miguel Arcángel, construida en el siglo XVIII, y el campanario adyacente, construido un poco más tarde. El Arcángel Miguel es el santo patrón de Rupit y el santo más venerado entre los residentes locales. La leyenda dice que Rupit es un pueblo de brujas. Al parecer, en la Edad Media, aquí se escondían brujas y hechiceros de la Inquisición española. Y luego, al encontrarlos aquí, fueron ejecutados quemándolos en la hoguera. Los alrededores de Rupita son famosos por sus cascadas y lagos. Sin embargo, durante los calurosos meses de verano se secan_
La Cascada Salt de Sallen, de 82 metros de altura, se encuentra a media hora de camino desde Rupit, por un camino forestal.
