We will start the day with a soft hike and a visit at Castellfollit de la Roca, one of the most scenic 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 see the romanesque church and medieval bridge from XII century before , we start hiking across one of my favourite paths following 3 lava flows that have shaped the lanscapes of this region. Here we'll learn about the rural way of life of La Garrotxa. The area is simply beautiful and will put you in a zen-like mood. After the hike we will head to Besalú, 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 comming back to Barcelona, we'll have a guided visit to Besalú where I'll show you the most unique spots of this beautiful medieval town; an authentic trip back in time!

Ramon is an excellent guide - personable, knowledgeable, and flexible - and made this an excellent day trip. We had a nice hike around the volcano park (easy hiking, moderate pace), stopping along the way to enjoy cheese & sausage snacks he provided, then drove to see some lovely examples of medieval villages after enjoying an excellent (optional) fixed-price lunch at a small restaurant just outside the volcano park. Highly recommend Catalan Trails guide service, and Ramon, who do this and many other day trips. This trip is suitable for all ages, and Ramon catered everything to our interests to make our trip most enjoyable. Thanks Catalan Trails!

We loved our tour with Ramon. He’s so friendly and knowledgeable, and kept the tour and conversation engaging the whole time. La Garrotxa is so beautiful this time of year with the autumn colours, and the hike was easy enough even for amateur hikers. Besalu is so quaint and unique too. All in all, a really memorable day.

Our special trip with Ramon truly represents our return to freedom after the very intense lockdown in Barcelona. The fresh air and beautiful views were our reward. Ramon is an outstanding guide. He is so knowledgeable about the area and added a lot of details and context about the geology and history that we wouldn't have gotten on our own. At the same time, he didn't force conversation on the drive, which I think shows a level of comfort with silence that is uncommon in the industry, but also probably appreciated by many clients. All three stops were gorgeous and special. Besalu is definitely a must-see. We opted for the restaurant lunch, and it was really nice. Overall, wonderful tour.
