• Fall and Spring They are the best times of the year to go if you do not want crowds and if you want to find a place in the Barruera area.
• Summer if you want to enjoy the cool nights and the baths in the river and pool of Barruera. That yes, the Barruera area may be full, but you can go to the magnificent camping next door that has a jumper for the kids and its owners are very nice.
• Winter if you want to enjoy snow and ski.

1 Visit the tourist information office of Barruera will help you a lot to plan the rest of the getaway through the Vall de Boí ,. They have maps with routes and trails and information on the many activities there.

2 To climb, always carry all the equipment and have previous experience or go with experienced people.

3 For walks, preferably carry a mountain GPS with the tracks of the routes to be downloaded.

4 Always wear good hiking shoes and raincoats and warm clothes in your backpack along with enough water and food.

5 In Barruera there is a small path next to the motorhome area along the river to the Salancar (a marsh-like area) with lots of fauna and flora to observe.

1 The Barruera and Taull parks are great allies of parents to go with the little ones.

2 Barruera's pool in July and August is great for the little ones and the big one is heated, the small one is frozen for that.

3 Behind the pool there is a farm area andschool that in the morning do farm activities at 12 noon and in the afternoons at 17:XNUMX p.m. departures with ponies.

4 Be careful not to swim in the Barruera river much current.

5 Watch at all times the children in themountain there are thousands of risks, we carelessly fell our 6 year old son to a lime pit of more than two meters on the promenade of lovers, a very very big scare that ended in a scratch by Luck, but we learned the lesson: not a carelessness on the mountain.

6 Bring a mountain backpack for children under 5 years old if you want to walk more than 2 hours, the double mountain cart could be used by the gentlemen's reservoir, but the rest of the roads better the backpack.

7 Something also highly recommended to do with children is to take a 4 × 4 taxi from Boí to Aiguestortes, and from there there is a 1 hour ride to Estany Llong, which is a fairly flat road. The taxi is 8 Euros person.

1 Any of the visited and overnight sites they are good places for them. The best Cubelles, as long as there was no absolutely no one and the field was flat to be able to be loose without dangers.

2 Be careful in the Taull car park, it is the second time in two years that we have gone and both times we have found loose Border Collie dogs over there, they're from a nearby shepherd and they're on the loose, they are not bad, but if your dog is male like mine and cock you can have a scare.

3 Keep an eye on Barruera in the river because there is a lot stream.

4In taxis going to Aiguestortes, dogs can go up paying € 8 the same as any adult.

1 The Barruera AC area is only for overnight stays from 20 to 8 hours depending on the signal that it puts, but it is true that the People stay during the day or more hours and do not fine for it. Yes No Camping. The problem is that there are bullies, who mount a whole camping with caravans, tents and even electric generators like we find. And for these, they can come and throw you out. For the In addition, the area is great, it has emptying and filling of waters (against: There is only one tap for clean toilet water, remember not to rinse the WC!), Area with picnic tables and barbecues and next to the river, the pool municipal for July and August for € 1,5 (children) or € 2,5 (adults), parks crossfit and children's, 5 minutes from town with many restaurants and little shops.

2  Be careful if it rains in the Barruera area, turns into a gangster where the wheels slip a lot. To get out of mud remember not to hit acceleration but also not to brake in the middle of mud, smooth and often.

3 To go up to the Reservoir of Knights do not you can even do the parking above with the motorhome, even though the road is paved and is fine is narrow and is prohibited drive vehicles over 2 meters wide. Before that little road there is a parking lot where you can leave it. From there to the reservoir there is an hour of walking up the busy and unpleasant road to the walk. Another option is to ask for help for someone to upload, many upload cars. We went with friends who brought us in their van.

4 The Taull car park for the night has bathrooms, but no other service for ACs.

5 The Cubells overnight area is a van is not in parking4night, it is on a dirt road with speed bumps that luckily did not make us touch the bass of the AC for hairs. We do not detail the site because despite the fact that we arrived well and the site was perfect it's not a place to really go for a motorhome, since only to find a car the thing is complicated much. I will only say that whoever wants to venture does so, it will come but it is a site just to access the climbing sector there is, you will not find more and it is very hot in summer and there are no shadows.

6 For draining and tuning of the car in the return we used the motorhome area of ​​Cervera, super good equipped and that nothing should be diverted when being at the entrance of the town.
