TOUR OF BESALU, PERATALLADA AND PALS IN ONE DAY

We left Barcelona to visit the town of Besalú.

Start your trip early in the morning, heading to the historic town of Besalú, which is approximately an hour and a half from Barcelona. Besalú is known for its well-preserved medieval ensemble, as well as its impressive fortified bridge. We will visit the famous Besalú Bridge, a Romanesque architectural work that offers stunning views over the Fluvia River.

Next, we will delve into the Jewish history of Besalú with a visit to the Miqvé, Jewish baths from the 12th century, which are one of the few structures of their kind preserved in Europe. This place is not only a showcase of medieval architecture, but also a testament to the town’s rich Jewish heritage. Take the opportunity to explore the Call, or Jewish quarter, where you can appreciate the narrow streets that were once full of life and commerce.

Later, around midday, we will head towards Peratallada, which is about 45 minutes from Besalú. Once there, enjoy a stroll through its cobbled alleys and marvel at the stone facades that characterize this town. Plaça de les Voltes is the heart of Peratallada, known for its well-preserved medieval center.

After lunch, we continue our journey to Pals, a small town located about 20 minutes from Peratallada. In Pals, you can stroll through the narrow streets that will transport you to another era. Be sure to visit the Torre de les Hores, an impressive viewing point that offers panoramic views of the surrounding area.

Finally, around 5:00 p.m., begin your return to Barcelona, ending a day full of explorations and beautiful discoveries in three of the most charming medieval towns in Catalonia.

Finally, we will close this day of adventure by returning to Barcelona.
