Girona, Costa Brava & Medieval Villages Day Trip from Barcelona
Description
Three very different sides of Catalonia in one day, with a local guide who actually knows the place. In Girona you walk one of Europe's best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters, climb the old city walls for views across the rooftops, and step inside a cathedral with the widest Gothic nave in the world. Then we head inland to a walled medieval village where the alleys and squares look much as they did centuries ago. We finish on the Costa Brava, in a small fishing village of whitewashed houses tumbling down to the sea. You get two hours free to swim in the coves, find lunch on the seafront, or just sit by the water and take it in. This isn't a drive-by photo tour. You travel by air-conditioned coach from central Barcelona and get real time in each stop, not ten rushed minutes.

Begin your visit by exploring Girona's well-preserved Old Town, a charming maze of cobbled streets and medieval buildings. Visit the impressive Girona Cathedral, with its vast Gothic nave, and wander through the Jewish Quarter (El Call), one of the best-preserved in Europe. Stroll along the picturesque Iron Bridge, designed by Gustave Eiffel, offering stunning views of the Onyar River and colorful houses. Take in the city's rich history, from ancient Roman times to the medieval era, and immerse yourself in its captivating stories.
In the medieval village of Peratallada, the castle is the heart of the village, surrounded by ancient walls. Explore the narrow streets, stone houses, and historical remnants that make this village feel like stepping back in time. A perfect place for photography and soaking in the atmosphere of a bygone era.
Known for its crystal-clear waters and stunning whitewashed houses, Calella is one of the most beautiful seaside villages of the Costa Brava. Relax on the beach, take a swim, or stroll along the promenade. This idyllic location is the perfect place to unwind, have lunch at a traditional seaside restaurant, or simply enjoy a drink by the sea.
