Your family will discover and enjoy the cultural heritage of a great destination.
The Pyrenees is an unparalleled place for fishing but also for those non-fishing partners who accompany the angler. Quite a few fishing destinations are so remote that, once there, a guest’s non-fishing companion is limited to just observing nature. Not a bad fate, however, an angler can fish in the Pyrenees, safe in the knowledge that his non-fishing partner has many alternative activities from which to choose. Some of the most outstanding options include visiting historic churches, castles and monasteries; excursions in off–road vehicles, and sampling the products from local wineries and tapas bars.
Santa Cilia and Surrounding Countryside
A thankful fisherman expresses his appreciation for family time well spent.
“ Thank you for the wonderful experience fishing in the Pyrenees. For the record, my wife accompanied me on this fishing trip. I can speak for her in saying that you made her eminently comfortable and at all times happy. She was as overwhelmed as I to see the magnificent rivers and surrounding mountains that we were so fortunate to visit with Salvelinus as our guiding company.”
— Howell Hollis III (Atlanta, Georgia USA)
