Vic, Rupit & Besalú Excursion

We'll pick you up at your hotel in Barcelona between 8 and 9 am to head north towards Besalú, a medieval village that will leave you speechless.

This town, located at an important crossroads east of La Garrotxa, features a Romanesque bridge. We'll cross this viaduct and tour the historic center of Besalú, recognized as one of the most beautiful villages in Girona.

During our exploration of Besalú, we'll see the Jewish miqvé, the churches of San Pedro, Santa Maria and San Vicente, and the old pilgrims' hospital.

Next, we'll stop at the La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, where we will hike to explore the beech, oak and holm oak forests, as well as the volcanoes and lava flows of Catalonia.

We will then visit Rupit, a medieval gem with stone houses built over 400 years ago. You will have an hour of free time for lunch in one of its restaurants.

Finally, we'll visit Vic, where we will explore its historic center, walking through the Plaza Mayor and viewing Casa Beuló and Casa Tolosa.

Before returning to Barcelona, we'll stop at the Palau dels Montcada, the ruins of a 2nd-century Roman temple.

The excursion will conclude with a return to your hotel at approximately 6 pm.
