Roman Girona & Costa Brava trail

Duration: 11 hours

Journey to the Costa Brava and visit the colourful Roman city of Girona, a cosmos of melting cultures. Explore the winding medieval streets of the Jewish quarter, the Arab baths and the grandeur of its Romanesque Cathedral. After 2 hours here you cross the hills of Santuari dels Angels, where Dali and Gala married, to the village of Pals for lunch. Then follow the coastal route to admire the breath-taking seaviews, cliffs and coves of the Costa Brava and stop in Calella de Palafrugell where you can walk around the rocky coast, sunbathe and swim or visit the spectacular Botanic Garden set on the cliff tops of Cap Roig.

We specialise in small groups and in making every tour the kind of intimate experience you would normally only find by travelling independently.

This tour is only available in English

Price: 79 euros

The tour leaves Barcelona at 8:30am and heads straight up to Girona. There is a wide variety of museums and sites of historical interest in Girona, or if you prefer, the narrow streets of the old town are very pleasant just to wander around, for window-shopping or for a quiet coffee while watching the people pass by.

From Girona, the tour will head to the Santuari dels Angels, a beauty spot of such attraction that Salvador Dali chose it for his wedding to Gala. On a clear day, this spot offers panoramic views of the whole Girona region. We will then make our way to Pals, a small city that grew from a fortress. From Pals, we will head to the fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell, passing Begur on the way. There will be opportunities to stop for photographs along this road. Arriving in Calella de Palafrugell, you will be struck by the clean lines of the whitewashed houses that almost reach right down to the seafront. Here, you can explore the rocky coastline, perhaps taking a dip in the inviting waters, or you can follow the coastline round to the beautiful clifftop botanic gardens at Cap Roig.
