Beget

Beget is a mountain village in the Camprodon Valley featuring stone houses built from local materials that demonstrate traditional Catalan construction methods. The buildings cluster together along narrow lanes following a medieval layout, with the Church of Sant Cristòfol positioned prominently within the settlement.

The village developed in medieval times and has preserved its original layout and buildings for centuries. Because of this well-maintained medieval character and architectural heritage, Beget received designation as a Cultural Asset of National Interest.

The Church of Sant Cristòfol anchors the village center with its Romanesque design, showing how faith shaped building traditions in these mountains. The narrow lanes reveal how residents organized daily life in close quarters, with shared spaces connecting homes and community activities.

The village is accessible by mountain roads from Camprodon, with parking available near the entrance. Plan to explore on foot through steep pathways and narrow alleyways that require sturdy footwear and a comfortable pace.

The village sits surrounded by mountains and natural springs that have shaped daily life for centuries. Its remote position in the Pyrenees has allowed the settlement to remain largely unchanged, maintaining its medieval character in ways that lowland communities could not.
