Girona and Costa Brava with Lunch: VIP Small Group Tour

Summary

Climb aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle, with a guaranteed maximum of just 8 other travellers, at a centrally located pickup point in Barcelona, and admire the picturesque Catalan countryside as you travel toward your fist stop, the ancient city of Girona. Listen as your guide regales you with tales dating back to Girona’s 76 BC origin, and then embark on a tour of the medieval metropolis’ rich architectural tableau.  During some leisurely free time, see the great Cathedral, founded in 1038 on the site of a former Mosque, admire the spectacular Roman walls that defended the city from attackers, or travel back in time at one of Girona’s comprehensive museums.  Return to the vehicle and then head to Pals, a small city that grew from the foreboding fortress at its center. Continue to the charming fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell, and gaze at the dramatic hillside scenery as you travel past Begur, site of ancient castle ruins.  On arrival in Calella de Palafrugell, relish the picturesque tableau of whitewashed houses and pristine sandy beaches, and set off to explore the rugged coastline. Sink your toes into the soft sands of the beach, take a dip in the refreshing waters of the ocean, or absorb the botanical beauty of the cliff top gardens at Cap Roig.  You guide will give you free time to explore, but they will also treat you to a delicious, typical lunch with local wine at one of the charming restaurants at the edge of the sea.   After a leisurely lunch and some free time, you'll reconvene with your guide and group at a prearranged time, and relax during the journey back to Barcelona, where your tour concludes.
