Vall de Núria, Glacial valley in Queralbs, Spain
Located in the eastern Pyrenees at 2000 meters altitude, the valley features a lake surrounded by mountain peaks and alpine meadows.
The valley gained prominence in 1931 when political leaders gathered at the sanctuary to draft the first Catalan Statute of Autonomy.
The wooden Romanesque statue of Virgin Mary, discovered in the 12th century, remains a central element of religious pilgrimage in the region.
The valley is exclusively accessible through a rack railway from Ribes de Freser or by hiking trails, as no roads reach the location.
The sanctuary functions as both a religious center and a ski resort, with 73 snow cannons maintaining 10 slopes during winter months.
