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 this medieval village. As we wander its cobbled streets with a guide, we'll discover the history of the old town.

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

On our way to the Santa Margarida volcano, we'll stop at Castellfollit de la Roca, where houses hang from a basaltic rock column, and overlook the River Fluvià from the upper part of the town.

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

The tour will continue through La Garrocha, visiting the village of Santa Pau, where we will visit the Santa Maria church and the Castle, symbols of its 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.
