Girona, which lies along the river Onyar (G pronounced as in George in Catalan, or G the way the Dutch say it for the Spanish) is one of the more interesting towns to visit in Catalonia. Girona has known many upheavals and has come under the influence of many cultures over the two thousand years of its history, due to its strategic position. The Jewish quarter, where the great Rabi known as the “Ramban” used to live long before the Jews were driven from Spain, has been restored, and remnants of Jewish community life as it used to be can be observed.

After visiting the old city of Girona we will go on to Besalu, a picturesque medieval village - an ancient stone bridge, the church towers and a stream surrounding the whole give the visitor the feeling that time has simply stopped.

It is interesting to see that here too there are traces of the Jewish life there used to be in the region. The ritual bath which was discovered during an archaeological dig is probably one of the earliest in Europe.

Another option for the Girona tour is to follow it with a visit to Tosa del Mar, a charming village on the Costa Brava whose inhabitants, though no longer fishermen, do partly live as they did in the past, behind the walls of the castle which was built on the cliffs above the sea.
The views from the castle inspired many artists, among them Marc Chagall who used to live there.

The price for this tour in groups from 2-8 people is 67€/ person + 17 euros/person supplement for lunch, VAT included

It is also possible to combine the visit to Girona with a guided tour of the Dali museum in Figueres.
