Vall de Núria

Valleys

Vall de Núria is a south-opening valley descending from the crest of the Pyrenees within the municipality of Queralbs, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain. Its floor lies about 2,000 meters above sea level and is reached from the south by the Vall de Núria Rack Railway or on foot, and from France to the north only by footpaths, since no roads enter the valley. The valley is historically notable as the site of the 1931 drafting of the first Catalan Statute of Autonomy, at the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Núria.
