Hostalric 1810: Historical recreation camp

Hostalric 1810 is here, an immersive experience that will transport you back in time to the 19th century with a spectacular historical recreation set in the heart of Napoleon's era. For two days, the Hostalric Fortress will be transformed into an authentic 1810 camp, featuring soldiers, scenes from daily life, and a grand battle in the castle moat.

Historical context

The year is 1810. The fortress of Hostalric is under intense siege by French troops. After nine days of bombardment, General Duhesme prepares to deliver the final blow and occupy the fortress. At this critical moment, Colonel Estrada devises a risky plan: to march out with some 700 men and reach Vic without being intercepted.

To this end, he will have the support of a hundred wounded soldiers and Miguelitos, whose mission will be to stop the French and buy time.
