ABOUT THE History, Legends and Food Tour of Girona

This tour is operated by our partner Girona Free Tour.

 

This guided Walking Tour of Girona is the perfect blend of culture, storytelling, and gastronomy. Led by a passionate local guide, visitors will journey through time, from the city's Roman foundations to its medieval grandeur , while discovering Girona’s most iconic landmarks and untold stories. A unique way to experience the past and savor the present!

 

Explore Legends, Landmarks and Local Life

Wander through the labyrinthine streets of the Old Town, explore hidden gardens, and hear surprising legends involving nuns, artists like Dalí, and the city's mythical beasts. Along the way, admire the grandeur of Girona Cathedral and the Basilica of Sant Feliu, cross the charming bridges over the Onyar River, and soak up the local rhythm of Girona’s historic Jewish Quarter.

 

Taste the Flavors of Girona

No Tour would be complete without sampling some authentic Catalan flavors. Right in the heart of the Jewish Quarter, guests will enjoy a xuixo (a local pastry filled with custard) and a taste of ratafia, a traditional herbal liqueur with over 40 botanicals. It’s a delicious way to connect with local culture and leave with both great memories and great taste.

 

More than just a walking tour, this experience is a deep dive into the soul of Girona.
