Flaçà: Old Town, Buildings and Paths along the Ter

Flaçà offers two distinct aspects to consider when planning a trip: the old town preserves its medieval layout, while walking paths along streams and poplar-lined avenues lead to the Ter. There are also buildings from different centuries, as well as rail and bus connections. If you are looking for a hotel in Flaçà, you could first consider whether you would like to focus your stay on historic buildings, paths by the water or getting around. These priorities give your search for a suitable itinerary a clear direction.

Old Town and Buildings

The old town can be reached through three main entrances, including two vaulted passageways. These entrances provide clear landmarks as you explore the historic centre. Casa Balle, also known as Can Llausàs, is a small palace in the Plateresque style. The Ermita de Sant Fermí was built in the second half of the 16th century; the year 1579 is inscribed on the entrance lintel. Can Vinyals houses a chapel dedicated to Mare de Déu del Carme, built by Josep de Vinyals in 1718. Can Vinyals also has a large round tower, built at the end of the 19th century. The Salvador Torras factory colony is also one of Flaçà’s sights.

Sant Cebrià: Construction History and Altarpiece

One building whose dates are documented in particular detail is the present-day church of Sant Cebrià. Construction began on 15 November 1784 and was probably completed in 1824. The church contains an altarpiece with ten columns, whose gilded capitals are decorated with volutes and acanthus leaves. The start of construction and probable completion date place the building’s creation in time, while the altarpiece draws attention to a specific design feature of the church. Compared with the Ermita de Sant Fermí, it shows that Flaçà’s church buildings date from different periods.

Walking Paths along the Ter and to Font del Monadell

The Ter runs through Flaçà. Walking paths in Flaçà follow streams lined with poplar avenues down to the river. Waterways, poplars and the Ter thus help orient visitors on walks. Another specific option is the route to Font del Monadell: the municipal path there starts at the petrol station. When planning, you can distinguish the paths by their destination: walks along streams lead to the Ter, while the route to Font del Monadell ends at a spring. This gives you two different options for spending time outdoors: the river and the spring.

Planning Your Journey and Hotel Search

Flaçà has rail and bus connections for getting there. The Renfe station sells train tickets and provides station services; check these details again before travelling. An hourly bus service connects Flaçà with the coast and Girona. Check the timetable before departure so you can factor the service into your daily plans. When weighing up your options, you can distinguish between station services and train tickets on the one hand, and the hourly bus service towards the coast and Girona on the other. If you are looking for a hotel in Flaçà, decide what you would like to focus on during your stay and check the timetable for your specific travel dates.
