CanJou is a “home from home” 11th Century farmhouse converted to a rural hotel tucked away in the Catalonian hills with breath taking panoramic views over the Catalan Pyrenees. It offers the warmest climate of all the Pyrenean range, an almost uknown corner of Spain, once discovered never forgotten.

Between the mountains and the sea. 20 km from the French Border, 50 km from the coast and 120 kms from Barcelona.

The area is full of spectacular towns and villages, untouched by the passing of time,the architecture reflects the glories of times gone by. Catalonia is still full of wild unspoilt wildernesses waiting to be discovered.

Following the Pyrenees down to the coast there is the Ampurdan region.One of the wonders of Catalonia,Undulating fields of olive groves, vineyards and sunflowers and fragrant Mediterranean pine forests.Here there is the Albera wine growing region that produces rich full bodied wines, that are an absolute delight.
