FULL-DAY EXCURSION TO GIRONA

Little more than an hour from Barcelona, Girona feels like a city frozen in time. Cross the river and step into a maze of cobbled lanes, honey-coloured stone and hidden squares, guarded by medieval walls.

Climb the grand staircase to the Cathedral, get lost in El Call, one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish quarters, and stop to photograph the colourful houses hanging over the Onyar River. Then enjoy free time to wander, shop and have lunch at your own pace.
