About this tour
A private guided tour through Catalonia's medieval heartland, starting in the walled village of Pals with its thousand-year-old stone architecture, then moving to Girona—the four-rivers city—where you'll explore 12th-century Arab baths, walk the defensive ramparts for sweeping views, and visit the honey-coloured streets of Peratallada. Eight hours to a full day depending on pace, with flexible stops and lunch on your own in Platja d'Aro before returning to Palamos.
Highlights

What to expect
Your driver collects you and takes you first to Pals, where you wander narrow lanes lined with arches, doorways and carved stone spanning over 1000 years. The surrounding rice paddies are particularly striking during bloom. From there, head to Girona proper—a compact, layered city where the guide walks you through the old quarter, then up onto the city walls for unobstructed views across rooftops and the converging rivers below. You'll visit the Arab baths, a rare survivor from the 12th century tucked within a convent. Before returning, you'll explore Peratallada's golden-stone streets. Lunch is yours to arrange in Platja d'Aro, and there's time for browsing local shops.
Good to know
Maximum eight travellers keeps the pace intimate. Prams and strollers work for infants; toddlers sit on laps during transport. No extreme walking fitness needed, though Girona's ramparts involve stairs. Bring water and comfortable shoes. Tips, snacks, and lunch aren't included.
