Garrocha Day Trip

At 9 am we'll meet at the Plaza Sant Feliu de Gerona and head to Besalú, which is about 35 minutes away.

We'll spend two hours exploring the medieval village with a guide, discovering the history of the old town.

Our next stop will be the Garrocha Natural Park, located in the pre-Pyrenees area, known for its more than 40 volcanoes. We will approach a medieval chapel located in the middle of one of these craters.

On our way to the Santa Margarida volcano, we'll stop at Castellfollit de la Roca, where you'll see houses perched on a basaltic rock column and enjoy views of the River Fluvià from the town's upper area.

After taking in the scenery, we'll go to a local restaurant for one and a half hours of free time for lunch on your own.

The tour will continue in La Garrocha, visiting the village of Santa Pau. We'll explore the Santa Maria church and the Castle, which are significant examples of medieval architecture.

The day will conclude at Lake Bañolas, where we'll take a short walk along the shore while learning about the area and enjoying the landscape. We'll return to Girona at 5 pm.
