Costa Brava & Medieval Girona Day Trip

The best of the Costa Brava and Girona and a proven hit with all ages and interests!

The Costa Brava, the “rugged coast”, is coined as such due to its high, sheer cliffs and numerous rocky coves yet is home to small medieval towns, fishing villages, and secluded beaches, most of which are largely only reachable by boat or narrow coastal trails. As the Costa Brava is one of the few authentic and pristine coastlines in the western Mediterranean, our small group and private day trips and tours to the Costa Brava and Girona take guests to experience charming fishing villages, local markets, city gardens, short walks to secluded beaches and great panoramic lookout points over this Mediterranean paradise. Girona city tours take you through the rich history of one of Spain’s most charming, medieval walled cities that has been very well preserved since it was founded by the Romans in the 1st century. You’ll wind through the narrow stone streets of the old quarter and see Girona highlights such as the Cathedral, Roman and medieval wall, Rambla de la Llibertat, Onyar River houses and bridges, Jewish Heritage Museum and more. Prior to exploring Girona, an optional three-course lunch is served in Girona city at a great traditional restaurant with wine, big salads, olives, grilled meats or the fresh fish dishes, which many guests qualify as their best meal while in Spain!
