MEDIEVAL VILLAGES
ITINERARY
Enjoy
a one-day guided tour from Barcelona to the medieval towns of Girona.
For 11 hours our expert guides will share with you the secrets of a
wondrous land in the intimate atmosphere of a small group.
The
tour begins at Girona, an ancient city of Iberian origins. After
visiting the Old Quarters or Barri Vell, one of the most evocative in
Catalonia, we will stroll through its colourful streets to discover
historical sites such as the Jewish Quarters, the Arab Baths and the
Gothic Cathedral, built in 1038 on the site of a former mosque.
Then
we will continue journey to Pals, a medieval historical monumental
ensemble formed by the castle, the town walls and the Romanesque
tower, built between the 11th and 13th centuries, known as the Tower
of the Hours.
Our
last destination, Peratallada, is one of the best-preserved medieval
villages in Catalonia, still retaining its old feudal aspect. Here we
will have free time for lunch and leisurely explore its narrow
winding streets to discover the fortified castle, the keep, the
palace, the walls and the Church of Sant Esteve.
From
Peratallada we will return to Barcelona where we will say goodbye at
7:30 pm.
