Interest points
Pickup
We'll meet at the agreed time at the departure point in Girona. From there we will head to the first village of our route: Castellfollit de la Roca.
First stop
Castellfollit de la Roca, a small village with houses hanging from a basalt rock cliff. We'll walk through its narrow streets to the historic center and climb the bell tower: enjoy the best views of the area. Afterward, we'll have breakfast and get ready for the next stop.
Second stop
The beautiful medieval town of Besalú. Here, a local guide will accompany us during our visit. You'll discover the history of this charming place and its importance during the Middle Ages. After the visit, you'll have time for lunch and to stroll freely through its streets. On the way out, take a look at the spectacular Pont del Llierca: a stunning medieval bridge built over the Fluvià river.
Final stop
Banyoles. Stroll along the shore of the most beautiful lake in the area. We'll share interesting facts and stories about the place while you enjoy the breathtaking scenery around us.
