Begin your exploration with a guided walk through Girona’s Jewish Quarter, regarded as Spain’s best-preserved and most significant Jewish quarters.

Next, experience the Passeig de la Muralla, a walk along the ancient city walls that date back to Roman times.
The path offers spectacular panoramic views of Girona, allowing you to capture postcard-worthy shots of the city’s skyline, punctuated by the spires of the Girona Cathedral and the Church of Sant Feliu.

This iconic scene, full of vibrancy and charm, is a feast for the eyes and a perfect backdrop for your keepsake photos. If you visit in mid-May, you’ll be treated to the city’s annual festival of flowers, where incredible flower creations bring an extra layer of enchantment to the city.
An Ancient Family-run Winery
As the day begins to wane, your private driver will transport you to an ancient family-run winery nestled in the Catalan countryside.
Dating back to the 1300s, this winery is a living testament to the region’s wine-making tradition. Upon arrival, a guided tour will introduce you to the process of crafting their renowned wines.
Walk amongst the vineyards as you learn about the various grape varieties and cultivation techniques. A visit to the winery’s historic cellars unravels the process of wine-making, aging, and storage, offering insight into the complex transformation from grape to glass.
