Medieval Girona and Costa Brava

Your group's own vehicle collects you at the door of your Barcelona hotel or apartment, and from then on the day keeps to your pace: about ten hours divided between Girona and the Costa Brava. In Girona a professional local guide, dedicated to your group, walks you through the old town, whose roots reach back to Roman times, and into the Jewish Quarter, one of the best preserved in Europe. The route passes the cathedral, known for a Gothic nave among the widest anywhere, and follows the Onyar River past painted houses and old bridges, one of them an iron footbridge from the 19th century.

Pals comes next, a hilltop village of stone alleys and old towers whose lookouts face across the Empordà rice fields to the Mediterranean. The last stop is Calella de Palafrugell, once a fishing village, where white houses look onto sandy coves and small boats, and the Camins de Ronda paths follow the shore. The vehicle then brings everyone back to where the day began. One price covers the whole group, up to six guests; food, drinks, optional tips and any entrance tickets not stated as included are extra.
