Itinerary

Stop 1

Passing by

One of Europe's most magnificent cathedrals — crowned by the widest Gothic nave in the world at 22.98 meters, reached by climbing the monumental Baroque staircase of 86 steps. The 11th-century Romanesque cloister, the silver altar-piece, and the Beatus manuscript illuminate centuries of Catalan religious art and architecture.
Stop 2

one hour

One of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in Europe — a labyrinth of narrow stone alleys, covered passageways, and atmospheric courtyards dating to the 12th century. The Museum of Jewish History traces 600 years of Girona's Kabbalistic tradition and the community that produced some of medieval Europe's greatest scholars.
Onyar River

one hour

The iconic image of Girona — a row of brightly painted houses reflected in the Onyar River, framed by medieval bridges including the iron Pont de les Peixateries Velles designed by Gustave Eiffel. The riverside walk and the Rambla de la Llibertat promenade showcase Girona's vibrant café culture and outstanding food scene.
Passeig de la Muralla

one hour

Girona's restored medieval ramparts — an elevated walkway atop the 9th-century Carolingian walls offering panoramic views across terracotta rooftops, the cathedral towers, the Pyrenees foothills, and the Onyar valley. One of the best-preserved city wall walks in Catalonia.
Arab Baths

Passing by

A beautifully preserved 12th-century Romanesque bathhouse inspired by Moorish hammam design — its elegant columned pool hall with an octagonal lantern skylight is one of Girona's most photographed interiors, a rare surviving example of medieval bathing architecture in Spain.
Stop 6

Passing by

A 12th-century Benedictine monastery housing the Archaeological Museum of Catalonia — its Romanesque cloister with intricately carved capitals depicting biblical scenes, mythical beasts, and floral motifs is one of the finest in Catalonia, set beside the tranquil Galligants
Besalu

one hour

A perfectly preserved medieval town crowned by its spectacular 11th-century Romanesque bridge — seven arches spanning the Fluvià River in one of Catalonia's most photographed scenes. The town shelters one of only three medieval Jewish ritual baths (mikveh) discovered in Europe, along with Romanesque churches and an atmospheric town square.
Dali Theatre-Museum

Passing by

The world's largest surrealist object — Salvador Dalí's extraordinary museum in his birthplace of Figueres, topped with giant eggs and a geodesic dome, housing the artist's most important works from optical illusion paintings to the Mae West room. The most visited museum in Catalonia outside Barcelona, and Dalí's final resting place.
Peratallada

one hour

Arguably the most perfectly preserved medieval village in Catalonia — its very name means 'carved stone,' and the narrow streets, Romanesque castle, and golden stone buildings appear frozen in time. The surrounding Empordanet countryside shelters similar treasures in Pals with its Gothic tower and Monells with its porticoed plaza.
Calella de Palafrugell

one hour

A postcard-perfect fishing village of whitewashed arcaded houses lining a turquoise bay — the birthplace of the havaneres sea-shanty singing tradition performed on summer nights on the beach. Walk the Camí de Ronda coastal path to discover hidden coves at Llafranc, Tamariu, and the pine-fringed beaches that define the Costa Brava.
