Costa Brava and Medieval Villages Small Group from Girona

About this tour

This eight-hour small-group tour from Girona explores five settlements across the Costa Brava and inland medieval terrain. You'll visit the coastal villages of Calella, Llafranc and Begur, each offering distinct vantage points—lighthouses, clifftop castle ruins, fortified architecture—before heading inland to the walled villages of Pals and Peratallada. Narrow lanes, defensive stonework and panoramic coastlines reveal how these communities evolved to resist pirates and preserve their medieval character.

Highlights

• Coastal walk between Calella and Llafranc with Indianos mansions
• Begur Castle ruins with full coastline views
• Llafranc lighthouse and landscape perspective
• Pals and Peratallada walled villages with moats and narrow streets
• Small group maximum ensures intimate pace
• Air-conditioned minivan transport included

What to expect

You'll start from Girona in a minivan with up to six other travellers and a local guide. The first stops are coastal—Llafranc offers a structured walk to Calella with glimpses of colonial-era mansions built by wealthy merchants. Begur's castle sits atop cliffs; expect a steep approach but rewarding views. After lunch (at your own expense), you'll shift inland to Pals and Peratallada, where medieval street plans, fortification walls and moat remnants dominate. Walking between villages is moderate; bring water and comfortable shoes.
