About this activity

Combine medieval history and coastal beauty on this 9-hour private excursion from Barcelona, exploring Girona's thousand-year-old Jewish Quarter and Gothic Cathedral before unwinding with a seaside lunch in the picturesque fishing village of Calella de Palafrugell on the Costa Brava.

Discover Girona and its Medieval beauty, rich Jewish heritage, and architectural and cultural relevance, on this Private Tour from Barcelona.

Arrive in less than one hour and a half in a comfortable vehicle. Meandering through the charming narrow streets of the old town, you’ll visit the Cathedral and the Jewish Quarter from the tenth century and be transported back in time. 

And after, a short drive away, we’ll unwind in Calella de Palafrugell, one of the most splendid fisherman’s villages along the Catalan coast. We’ll admire its whitewashed houses and pretty beaches, with fishing boats hauled up on the sand while we enjoy a relaxing local meal in front of the beach. 

We'll have some free time to walk around or rest before we head back to Barcelona.

  • ★The Jewish Quarter (Call) is best explored slowly; take time in small museums and plaques that reveal hidden stories

Best time to visit
