Girona and Besalú: Jewish heritage

Two of the most charming medieval towns

On this tour we will visit two of the most charming medieval towns in Catalonia.

Girona, a one-hour drive from Barcelona, is home to a historic Jewish quarter, the Call, and its outstanding museum. This city has the old charm of the Middle Ages and it’s worth having a nice stroll around the old quarter with its narrow streets and steep stairs.  

This tour is combined with a visit to the town of Besalú, just half an hour away from Girona. This little town, set on the Fluvià river, offers one of the most well-preserved and interesting medieval ensembles, including its old city walls and the Jewish mikveh, one of a very few of its kind still remaining in Europe.

Both towns are mostly pedestrian which allows you to explore on foot, certainly the best way to get to know a city and its culture and past.

Although the situation currently appears to be improving, we believe that present conditions still require specific safety measures during your visit. At the same time, we understand that many are facing uncertainty when making travel plans. With this in mind, we apply flexible cancellation terms. Health, both yours and ours, is a priority.

We have introduced additional measures to ensure you feel safe when visiting with us.  Below are steps we will be undertaking to enhance hygiene standards and take into consideration the social distancing aspect in this new era of travel:

  • Guides and participants will always wear facemasks inside buildings and on transport. They are not obligatory anymore outside, but we strongly advise to wear them in crowded places.
  • We offer hand sanitizer.
  • The social distance of 1m50 will always be respected.
  • Guides will be using radio-guides and we provide listening devices with single-use headphones (you may also bring your own).
  • As we only offer private tours, you will not be sharing visits with strangers, thus allowing you to feel more comfortable.
  • We comply with all restrictions currently in force in Catalonia, and will also make sure to avoid crowds and highly frequented places.

Due to the exceptional situation worldwide, we now offer flexible cancellation terms. You can cancel your tour for free up to 24 hours before the start time.
