"Spain and skiing might not seem like natural amigos, but the Catalan Pyrenees could pull off a credible version of the Winter Olympics. Boí Taüll gives you the best runs for your money: blue skies (well, usually) and baking-soda peaks as far as the ski goggles can see. It’s easy to get around, and—extra bonus—rarely crowded. As well as claiming the highest peak in the Pyrenees—Puig Falcó at 2751m—it’s also north facing, preserving the snow’s icy quality for way longer than your après cerveza. A visit is perfect for the type who likes their feet and their Old Fashioneds on ice." - Gemma Askham,Jessica Benavides Canepa
