Costa Brava and Girona Tour from Barcelona Description:
From Barcelona, we set off on a small group tour to Girona, designed to uncover the most authentic side of Catalonia. Girona captivates from the very first step, where Roman and medieval heritage blends seamlessly with modern life.
Strolling through its cobbled streets, exploring one of the best-preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe, or admiring the majestic Girona Cathedral—home to the widest Gothic nave in the world—feels like traveling back through over 2,000 years of history.
The colorful houses lining the Onyar River and its iconic bridges create a postcard-perfect scene, which is why Girona became one of the most memorable filming locations for Game of Thrones.
After discovering Girona at a relaxed pace, the tour continues toward the Costa Brava, with a stop in the charming medieval village of Pals. Its stone towers, viewpoints, and narrow streets offers weeping views over the Mediterranean and the Empordà rice fields, a landscape shaped by the Tramontana wind where history and nature exist in perfect harmony.
As the journey unfolds,the Costa Brava reveals its most breathtaking scenery: lush green mountains, dramatic cliffs, and whitewashed villages clinging to the coastline. In Calella de Palafrugell, a former fishing village,the authentic spirit of Mediterranean life is still alive.
Here, you will have time to enjoy the traditional gastronomy of the Empordà before exploring the legendary caminos de ronda. These historic coastal paths, once used by fishermen and smugglers, lead you through some of the most unspoiled areas of the Costa Brava, unveiling hidden coves, rocky cliffs, crystal-clear waters, and natural beaches perfect for a refreshing swim.
A carefully curated small group tour from Barcelona that blends culture, nature, and emotion—ideal for travelers seeking an intimate, authentic, and unforgettable experience in Girona and the Costa Brava.
