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 more than 40 volcanoes. We will approach a medieval chapel situated in the crater of one of the volcanoes.

As we make our way toward the Santa Margarida volcano, we'll stop at Castellfollit de la Roca, a group of houses perched on a basaltic rock column. From the upper part of the town, we will overlook the River Fluvià.

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

The tour will continue through La Garrocha, visiting the village of Santa Pau, where we'll see the Santa Maria church and the Castle, symbols of medieval architecture.

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