Things to do in Girona, Catalonia: The Best Multi-day Tours

October 12, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

One of the most historic sites in Spain, Girona lies in northeast Catalonia, just 99 km (62 mi) from Barcelona. Founded by Romans, the city later was taken over by Moors and Franks before finally falling under the rule of Barcelona. Influenced by different cultures and religions, the city beckons visitors with beautiful architecture. The Old and New Town offer many opportunities to pleasurably get lost and observe local life and culture.

This was a first for us (my husband and our good friend) and we weren't sure what to expect. After doing some google research we narrowed it down to a couple of companies. Creative Catalonia was responsive and Daniel provided excellent service--answering all kinds of questions promptly making us feel much more relaxed about what we might expect when we arrived. The difference-maker was being able to adjust some of the rides to work for our small group. It was 6 days/7 nights and we really couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The only suggestion I would have is that when they tell you there are no restaurants open in Spain in mid-afternoon/early evening, they mean it! A few times we arrived at our destination hungry and out of luck until 7 or 8pm at night. After a long days ride, that made for a few very hungry afternoons!
