Autumn is one of the best seasons to visit Berguedà and explore places rich in history and nature like La Pobla de Lillet. This village stands out for hosting two gems linked to Antoni Gaudí: his chalet in the Catllaràs and the Artigas Gardens, a unique work set in a natural environment that transforms with the arrival of autumn colours.
Mild temperatures and landscapes painted in yellows, oranges, and reds make this area ideal for a peaceful countryside retreat in the Catalan Pyrenees, offering a blend of culture, nature, and local gastronomy.
The Catllaràs Chalet: a modernist refuge among the woods
Located just a few kilometres from La Pobla de Lillet, the Catllaràs chalet was designed by Gaudí as a summer home for the Artigas family, owners of the local textile businesses. The chalet showcases modernist style with unique features and is surrounded by a forest that fills with warm tones in autumn, inviting peaceful walks and nature appreciation.
It’s a perfect spot for lovers of architecture and nature, who can also combine their visit with hikes in the nearby Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park.
The Artigas Gardens: an artistic landscape bearing Gaudí's mark
Right in La Pobla de Lillet, the Artigas Gardens show how Gaudí blended architecture with the landscape. This park, designed by him, features stone bridges, waterfalls, and metal walkways within a setting where autumn leaves create a daily-changing mosaic of colours.
It’s a tranquil place for strolling, photography, and discovering a lesser-known side of the Catalan genius, quite different from his famous urban works.
