Catalan Trails
Medieval Villages & La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Hiking
Visit three medieval villages: Besal√∫, Castellfollit de la Roca and Sant Joan les Fonts and hike around La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park on this day trip.
The adventure will start in Barcelona where you'll meet your guide. After about one and a half-hour drive on a comfortable minivan, you'll arrive at La Garrotxa, one of Catalonia’s most unique landscapes.
The tour will start with a soft hike and a visit to Castellfollit de la Roca, one of the most ancient medieval villages in Catalonia dramatically perched atop a cliffside at the meeting point of two rivers.
We will continue to Sant Joan les Fonts where we will visit the romanesque church and medieval bridge from XII century before, we start hiking across some paths following 3 lava flows that have shaped the landscapes of this region. Here we’ll learn about the rural way of life of La Garrotxa.
After the hike we will head to Besal√∫, the best-preserved medieval village in Catalonia, where first we will have some free time to have lunch (we can book a local restaurant for you).
Before ending this medieval villages tour and coming back to Barcelona, we’ll have a guided visit to Besalú where we’ll show you the most unique spots of this beautiful medieval town.
