Taüll
Spend about 4‑5 hours in Taüll to visit the Romanesque churches and enjoy the mountain views; add a ski stop in winter if you have extra time.
Taüll is a tiny Alpine village in the Vall de Boí, famous for two UNESCO‑listed Romanesque churches and a nearby ski centre. With a population under 300, the sights fit into a half‑day, but winter sports can extend the stay.
