Have you ever watched dawn breaking? Well, a visit to Santa Susanna is a similar experience. The tiredness and stress all seem to melt away and you, without being able to pinpoint the exact moment, are suddenly all refreshed and full of life. The beautiful countryside, the interesting things to see and do all come together to work magic on the visitor.
There was nothing peaceful about the pirates and other sea borne bandits who raided the local population quite regularly in the 16th century. It was with the intent of politely dissuading such unwanted attention that the Castle of Con Rates, along with a watchtower was built. Its well-aimed cannons seemed to have helped the locals and today you can enjoy a visit to the castle and get an idea of the past action.
A pre-Roman church
Move on to the opposite end of the spectrum with a visit to Capilla de Santa Susanna, a chapel, which dates back to pre-Roman times. Move ahead in time with a visit to the local parish Church here to enjoy the beautiful murals. And if you are not particularly religious, the panoramic views from here should compensate.
Love nature?
Head to the Massif Montnegre National Reserve, which is an absolutely mountainous and wooded area behind the town, where you can hike, ride mountain bikes and horses to your heart’s content. If all this outdoor activity works up a slaying thirst, head to one of the many ancient springs that abound in the region for some deliciously cool water.
Beautiful Barcelona
Close to Santa Suzanna is Barcelona, a must visit with its awe-inspiring sights. Enjoy the, to some, gaudy architecture that is sure to take your breath away. And the beautiful fountains! They are sure to be your most cherished memory of the visit. Grab a bite at Las Ramblas with its many street cafes and stalls before you head back.
Head to Marine World where you can enjoy some terrific dolphin and sea lion shows that will take your breath away. There are over 300 animals, including seals and otters, besides a water park. A great location for some family bonding. If you crave more excitement, move on to Water World, which is the biggest water park in Europe with loads of fun activities, guaranteed to thrill you.
