Our route through Puigcerdà in a motorhome, Eyne and Llo in a motorhome

What a wonderful trip our getaway was Puigcerdà by motorhome, Eyne y lolThree days full of nature, relaxation, family adventures and, as always, some anecdotes worth remembering.

Here is the daily itinerary we followed, so you can get an idea of ​​what you can enjoy in this Pyrenean region, perfect for a short but intense trip.

Day 1: Arrival in Puigcerdà by motorhome, a charming mountain village

Our trip began on a Friday afternoon, after picking up the kids from school. We decided to take the N-260 awarded by the Tosas Pass, a mountain road with curves and impressive views. The journey is a bit longer than through the Cadí tunnel, but without the tolls, and the scenery more than makes up for it!

We arrived to puigcerda in a motorhome just as the sun was beginning to set behind the mountains. We parked the motorhome in a very quiet residential parking lot, next to some swings (which was great for the kids to release that endless energy they have after a long trip). The location is ideal: a residential and family-friendly area, just a short walk from the town center, and where we don't bother any neighbors or crowd the motorhomes. We are alone as a motorhome.

After stretching our legs, we decided to explore the town a bit. puigcerda It is a beautiful town, with a mountain charm that can be felt in every corner. The first stop was at the famous Puigcerdà pond, surrounded by vegetation and ducks and with views that take your breath away. While the children ran after the ducks and swans, we enjoyed a relaxed walk around the lake. From there, we went to the tower of Sta. Maria, a place full of history. For just €1,5 we went up to the bell tower, from where you can admire incredible views of the whole of Cerdanya, with the Pyrenees as a backdrop.

As evening fell, we took the opportunity to do some shopping. puigcerda There are several shops that sell and rent ski equipment, and as winter was just around the corner, we decided to take advantage of the opportunity to buy second-hand skis. It was a great plan: equipment in good condition at very reasonable prices, ideal for children, who need new equipment every season.

We ended the day having dinner in the motorhome, parked in a quiet place, and preparing for the next day. The children fell asleep, and so did we, with a feeling of peace that only mountain villages can offer.

Day 2: Exploring Eyne and the ski slopes, we cross to Cerdanya by motorhome, French side

We woke up early, ready to continue the adventure. After breakfast with views of the Pyrenees, we headed to eyne, a small town just 20 minutes from Puigcerdà, on the French side of the Pyrenees. The journey was short but spectacular: the mountain landscapes never cease to surprise at every turn.

Our plan was to walk around the Cambre d'Aze ski slopes, a small, family-friendly resort, ideal for a winter getaway. Although there was still no snow when we went (it was November), the place has a special charm. We imagined how beautiful it must be in the middle of the ski season, with the mountains covered in white. For those of you who like skiing with your family, this resort is perfect: easy slopes, cheap ski passes, a relaxed atmosphere, and many options for the little ones. The walk was short, but enough to enjoy the fresh air and the views.

We ended the day heading towards lol, our next destination. Llo is a small town known for its hot springs and the beautiful Segre Gorges, which would be the highlight of our last day. We parked the motorhome near the hot springs, in a simple parking lot but with a rustic atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in the middle of nature. We had a quiet dinner under the stars, with the sound of the Segre River in the background. There is nothing like sleeping in the motorhome surrounded by tranquility, knowing that the next day a great adventure awaited us.

Day 3: Hiking through the Segre gorges in Llo and hot springs, the best part of Cerdanya in a motorhome

On Sunday morning, after a rainy and cold night, we woke up excited. Despite the frost that had fallen, we could not pass up the opportunity to do the trail of the Segre GorgesWe were well equipped: hiking boots, backpacks with some food and water, and raincoats at hand (in case the weather decided to surprise us again).

The Gorges Trail is a true wonder. Along the way, the Segre river It meanders alongside us, creating small rapids and waterfalls that looked like something out of a postcard. Although it is an easy route, just a couple of kilometres long, it is perfect for families. The children had a great time exploring every corner and playing with the leaves and stones they found along the way.

The landscape was so beautiful that at every step we wanted to stop and take photos. Segre Gorges They have that power to connect anyone with nature. You walk along the river, between trees and rocks, and all you hear is the flowing water and the gentle wind through the branches. Total peace.

We finished the trail satisfied and happy. Back in the camper, with tired feet but full hearts, we prepared for a relaxing bath in the hot springs and then to return home. The return trip, although shorter, left us time to review the anecdotes of the getaway: from the GPS odyssey on the first day to the mud in which we almost got stuck in Llo.
