Discover Pruit

If you’re looking for a hotel in Pruit, you can plan your stay around the topics that interest you most: the architectural history of Sant Andreu, a circular route through Pruit, or nature and cultural experiences in the municipality of Rupit i Pruit. The places and activities each have a different focus, ranging from historic architectural styles to activities centred on animals and the landscape.

Sant Andreu de Pruit and its architectural history

The parish of Sant Andreu de Pruit is documented in a parish list dated between 1025 and 1050, as well as in a donation from 1134. The church’s architecture also reflects different periods: it has a Romanesque section dating from the 13th century. Its present-day structure dates back to alterations made in the 18th century. At that time, the side chapels and Baroque bell tower were built, and the nave was extended.

Sant Andreu is part of an architectural ensemble with the small village centre that grew up around the church. The church and the settlement centre therefore form a single part of the village’s landscape. A fragment of the altarpiece from Sant Andreu de Pruit is preserved and displayed at the Museu Episcopal de Vic. It connects the church with another place where its cultural heritage can be found.

Circular route and festival traditions

The “Itinerari pels voltants de Rupit” circular route passes through Pruit. It starts and ends at the tourist information office. For anyone interested in a circular walk, the route description gives both its course through Pruit and its start and end point at the same location. The route offers one way to explore the surrounding area; the church and its architectural history provide a separate cultural focus.

The Festa Major de Pruit is also associated with Sant Andreu: Goigs, hymns in honour of the saint, are sung during the celebration. Vermouth is served after Mass. If you’d like to plan your trip around the festival, check the dates in advance.

Collsacabra and the night sky

Rupit i Pruit is part of the protected Collsacabra natural area, also known as PEIN Collsacabra. This natural area is characterised by rocky cliffs, dense forests, streams and waterfalls. These landscape features provide a distinctive backdrop for a stay in the municipality and complement the historical themes associated with Sant Andreu.

An area with a high-quality night sky is protected on Turó de Santa Magdalena. Associated measures include environmental education activities and the promotion of sustainable tourism focused on observing the natural nocturnal environment. Alongside the landscape, the night sky and the experience of observing it are also part of what the area has to offer.

Activities in the municipality

In the municipality of Rupit i Pruit, Mas El Torrent offers a theatrically staged farm visit with a tasting of local products. Reservations are required, and opening times may change. Check the latest times and book in advance if you’re planning to take part.

Farmlab offers a mobile scavenger hunt about the animals and nature of the surrounding area, as well as a walk lasting about an hour. It is recommended that you get in touch in advance. Both activities explore nature, but in different ways: Farmlab focuses on the scavenger hunt and walk, while Mas El Torrent offers a staged farm visit with a tasting.

Getting there by bus

Rupit i Pruit is connected to public transport by the Sagalés Barcelona–Vic–Rupit bus route. As timetables are important when planning your journey, check the latest services before setting off. The bus connection complements the information about the circular route, church and activities in the municipality, without requiring you to follow a particular itinerary during your stay.
