Medieval Villages & La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Hiking. Small Group Tour

On this Small Group day tour from Barcelona you will explore la Garrotxa county, one of Catalonia's most interesting areas in Girona province, famous for it's medieval villages and the volcanos that shaped the valleys of this county. On this experience we will visit 3 medieval towns: Castellfollit de la Roca, Sant Joan les Fonts and Besalú and we will hike though the lava flows at La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. Our local will introduce you with the local culture.

We will start the day with a soft hike and a visit at Castellfollit de la Roca, one of the most scenic medieval villages in Catalonia dramatically perched atop a cliffside at the meeting point of two rivers.

We will continue to Sant Joan les Fonts where we will see the romanesque church and medieval bridge from XII century before , we start hiking across one of my favourite paths following 3 lava flows that have shaped the lanscapes of this region. Here we'll learn about the rural way of life of La Garrotxa. The area is simply beautiful and will put you in a zen-like mood.

After the hike we will head to Besalú, the best preserved medieval village in Catalonia, where first we will have some free time to have lunch (we can book a local restaurant for you).

Before comming back to Barcelona, we'll have a guided visit to Besalú where I'll show you the most unique spots of this beautiful medieval town; an authentic trip back in time!
