About this tour
A 10-hour small-group excursion from Barcelona into the heart of Catalonia. You'll walk through Girona's medieval quarters and Roman fortifications, sample the region's signature Xuixo pastry, wander the stone-built hamlet of Peratallada, then unwind at the coastal village of Calella de Palafrugell. Hotel pickup begins between 8–9 am; your guide navigates the countryside roads and shares local stories throughout.

What to expect
You'll begin with morning pickup from your Barcelona hotel, then travel inland through rural Catalonia. The guide leads you on foot through Girona's compact historic centre, pointing out the layered history embedded in alleyways and fortifications. A pastry stop breaks up the walking. Next is Peratallada—a tight medieval village frozen in time—where you'll have space to explore independently. The afternoon shift takes you to Calella, a working fishing village with a pebbly beach and seafront restaurants. Free time here means you choose: swim, eat, or simply sit with a view.
