The Catalan Pyrenees
One of the most popular restaurants in town, Els Caçadors has been family-owned for four generations and turns out top-notch Catalan cooking in classic creations like asparagus drizzled in goat's cheese, baked hake with prawns and meaty mountain-style paella.

Upstairs is a range of enticing rooms, ranging from wood-fitted 'bronze' to 'gold' boudoirs designed for couples.
