About this experience
Discover Girona and its Medieval beauty, rich Jewish heritage, and architectural and cultural relevance, on this Private Tour from Barcelona.
Arrive in less than one hour and a half in a comfortable vehicle. Meandering through the charming narrow streets of the old town, you’ll visit the Cathedral and the Jewish Quarter from the tenth century and be transported back in time.
And after, a short drive away, we’ll unwind in Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most splendid fisherman’s villages along the Catalan coast. We’ll admire its whitewashed houses and pretty beaches, with fishing boats hauled up on the sand.
We'll have some free time to walk around or rest before we head back to Barcelona.
