About this activity

Explore the Costa Brava's most picturesque medieval villages in a single day, combining dramatic coastal scenery with inland hilltop towns. This small-group tour (max 7 people) weaves together Catalan history, local gastronomy, and authentic village life away from mass tourism.

Journey back in time to medieval Spain on this full-day tour to several of Costa Brava’s most charming villages. See a historic lighthouse in Llafranc, walk a coastal trail to the hillside cottages of Calella de Palafrugell and admire Begur’s imposing castle. 

In the inland towns of Pals and Peratallada, sample local cuisine and wander down cobblestone streets while learning about the area’s fascinating history from your guide. Numbers are limited to 7 for a more personalized small-group experience.

  • ★Visit in shoulder seasons (April–May or September–October) for fewer crowds and milder temperatures than summer peak
  • ★Ask your guide about lesser-known viewpoints in Begur—many visitors miss the quieter vantage points away from the castle
