Overview of your Girona tour

BESALÚ AND THE GARROTXA NATURAL PARK La Garrotxa, the Volcanic Region of Catalonia, is one of the most beautiful, unique yet undiscovered regions of Catalonia. This region is located between the Pyrenees and Costa Brava. In the natural Park of the Garrotxa you can see more than forty volcanoes, a spectacular landscape, cliff towns like Castellfollit de la Roca and medieval villages like Besalú or Santa Pau. The Garrotxa is a very popular destination by local tourist from Girona and Barcelona but still not discovered by non-Catalan tourist. Don't miss the opportunity to discover this amazing part of Catalonia. The tour is very flexible if there is something that you want to change during the tour is also possible.

Miquel is a very knowledgeable guide. Due to the europian championship triatlon there was a roadblock but he directly came whith a solution to adapt the tour. I had a great day. Miquel is also very attentive and pleasant to be around.

This tour was such a highlight on our trip to Girona. Miquel was an amazing guide and took us to several spots which are not well known to tourists. We also went to lunch at a local restaurant before heading into the forest of the volcanic park. It was truly a magical day that we will never forget. Highly recommend Miquel for this tour and his others. He will take great care of you!

We had an incredible experience with Miquel, very knowledgeable, and good sense of humor. He made this tour very personal and memorable. Definitively one of the most beautiful medieval places we had ever seen.

Miquel was a great guide! We loved seeing the medieval towns, the lake, and the old volcanoes. We also loved the lunch at a local restaurant. It was a very rainy day, but we made the most of the day!

We had a wonderful day tour with Miquel. It was wonderful to get his perspective and he was really flexible. The restaurant he brought us to for lunch was one of our favourites of our 10 days in Spain! Would recommend for getting a better understanding of the area.

I would rate it as a 10 of the scale went that high! We had such a fun day! We saw a lot of interesting villages and explored the volcanic areas! Wonderful and peaceful walk in the forest! Miquel shared a great deal of information and history with us. We discovered places that we would have never discovered on our own! We also stopped at an amazing local restaurants for lunch! Thank you for an enjoyable day!
