Rupit and Besalú Day Trip

The tour meets at the Blanes Bus Station. From here we'll begin our journey to Rupit, one of Catalonia's most beautiful villages, with a long history that dates back to the 11th Century.

After about an hour and a half, we'll arrive at Rupit, where you'll have free time to explore the area. You can wander through its narrow streets and see the stone houses characteristic of a medieval city. Be sure to cross the famous hanging bridge for stunning views of the surrounding natural scenery. A complete, typical Catalan lunch will be provided before we continue.

Next, we'll make our way to the Santuario de la Mare de Déu del Far, a church located over 1,000 metres above sea level. Here, our guide will share the interesting history of the chapel.

Finally, we will visit Besalú, another medieval town in Gerona. We will see its bridge, the Jewish baths, the San Pedro de Besalú monastery, and the old pilgrim's hospital before returning to the departure point.

Our tour will conclude back at the starting point after a total of 9.5 hours.
