What is included in the tour?

The tour includes guided visits to Cap de Creus National Park, Cadaqués village, and St Pere de Rodes monastery, plus a wine and olive oil tasting at a local producer. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Girona are included. The total experience lasts approximately 10 hours.

How difficult is the walk to the monastery?

The monastery requires uphill walking and navigation of uneven terrain. Moderate fitness is needed. Bring proper hiking shoes and allow extra time if you're not accustomed to hill walking.

Wear comfortable, sturdy shoes; bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and a hat. A light jacket is useful for breezy conditions at Cap de Creus. Wear layers as weather can change.

Is the wine tasting suitable if I don't drink alcohol?

The tasting is included, but consumption is optional. You can observe and taste the olive oil, and ask your guide about non-alcoholic local products available at the tasting location.

What time does the tour start and finish?

The full-day tour lasts approximately 10 hours from pickup at your Girona hotel. Exact times depend on your hotel location and are confirmed at booking.

Is this suitable for families with children?

The tour can work for older children with hiking experience, but the 10-hour duration, uphill monastery walk, and wine tasting focus make it better suited to teens and adults. Confirm suitability with the operator based on your child's age and fitness.

★Visit early in the tour to see Cap de Creus in best light; afternoon crowds build at popular viewpoints

our host Kemal really knew their stuff and the slow-cooked tagine was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Honestly better than the food tour we did in marrakech last year, and for our anniversary. Would book again no question.

our host Mehmet couldnt do enough for us and a fish taco from a tiny street stall was the highlight, and miles ahead of a similar food tour we tried in Marrakech.
