Hi, I'm Ramon, a proud native of Barcelona with a lifelong passion for exploring the Catalan towns, monuments, and rich cultural heritage. From a young age, I’ve been fascinated by the history, nature, and architecture that make this region so unique. As a certified mountain guide, I offer immersive cultural, historical, and hiking tours where you can discover charming medieval towns, taste authentic local dishes, and experience the vibrant Catalan traditions firsthand. I believe the best way to understand a place is by truly living it. That’s why I’ve designed my tours to offer an authentic, memorable experience that makes you feel like a local. Whether we’re exploring scenic landscapes or delving into the history of small towns, I love sharing my knowledge of my homeland with you. Come join me and let’s explore Catalonia together! Certified Mountain Guide ( Spanish TD2 / UIMLA) I don't have any restrictions regarding my job as tour guide

Day trip from Barcelona to discover the beautiful medieval towns of Catalonia in la Garrotxa County
Overview of your Barcelona tour
This day tour will bring you to La Garrotxa county the best example of volcanic terrain on the Iberian Peninsula combining unique natural landscapes and beautifully preserved medieval towns. On this tour I will bring you to discover some of my favourite spots of this beautiful land. We will start the day visiting Besalú, the best preserved medieval town in Catalonia that will make you travel back in time. As we walk on Besalu cobbed streets and visit the town's highlights you will learn about its amazing medieval history and I will explain some of the local legends. After visiting Besalú you will see the dramatic views of Castellfollit de la Roca a picturesque town hanging on a cliff top at the meeting point of two rivers. We will continue to Rupit, one of Catalunya’s hidden gems, a medieval town with a unique athmosphere located at the hearth of the Catalonian countryside. During the tour you will have free time for lunch. If you want I can book a local restaurant for you.

Ramon was our favorite tour guide of our trip. Although he specializes in hiking tours, he modified for us and took us to three medieval villages and limited our walking to them. His knowledge and love of this region, outside of Barcelona, was so evident. We loved his stories, the fabulous lunch spot he found for us, and we were so happy he agreed to join us. He tailored the tour to our wishes, while showing us sites we will never forget. We were a group of 7, 20-62 years old.
