BESALÚ AND PAELLA TOUR IN TOSSA DE MAR

We left Barcelona to visit the town of Besalú.

On this tour we combine 2 of the most historic towns in Catalonia. One of the most beautiful towns in Spain, according to National Geographic, with a medieval coastal town, led by its Castle.

We will start your day early in the morning in Besalú, a well-preserved medieval town known for its impressive architecture and historic atmosphere. Upon arrival, we will cross the famous fortified bridge dating back to the 11th century, an iconic structure that offers photogenic views of the river and the town.

Once you have crossed the bridge, we will explore the town center, which feels like a trip back in time with its cobbled streets and old buildings. We will walk through the streets and the old Jewish Quarter. Among other gems there is a Jewish ritual bath dating back to the 12th century, one of the few of its kind preserved in Europe.

We continue through the Plaza Mayor, where you can see the church of Sant Vicenç and other medieval buildings. On the way back we will take time to stroll through the small shops selling crafts and local products.

We will take our vehicle to the town of Tossa de Mar. There a Mediterranean Paella awaits us with a view of the sea. Paella, an emblematic dish of Spain, is perfect to share and enjoy as a relaxing lunch after a morning of sightseeing.

After the spectacular lunch, we will take the opportunity to explore the Vila Vella, the ancient walled city of Tossa, and its castle. This area is the only remaining fortified medieval town on the Catalan coast and offers spectacular views of the sea from its walls.

Tossa de Mar is also known for its beautiful beaches and excellent cuisine, especially seafood dishes.

We will walk through the narrow cobbled streets, and have free time to browse the small shops and cafes in this picturesque setting.

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