EXPLORE GIRONA
Like Italy but without the crowds
10.30AM
Walk
The Old Town of Girona keeps a charming Call (medieval Jewish Section) with a fascinating (and unfortunately sad) history. No Jewish Heritage tour here would be complete without a visit of its Museum of History of the Jewish ( closed on Monday).
Besides this, there’s also some interesting Medieval Baths, the path along the city walls and an extraordinary Gothic Cathedral. You’ll also get to walk around the medieval alleys and squares to enjoy the local atmosphere. Almost like being in Italy, but without the crowds!
12.15PM
Drive
BESALU
A scenic medieval village
1PM
Walk
Besalú is a picturesque medieval village in the countryside, that features the first Medieval Jewish Baths (mikvah) found in Spain. You can continue learning about the history of our local Jewish community, as well as the Christian life that run parallel to it. The Besalu bridge, 1000 years old , is not to be missed. And kids love the walk along the riverbank.
LOCAL LUNCH
Time to Eat!
2PM
Enjoy a leisurely lunch at some local restaurant serving Catalan and Spanish specialties.
DRIVE TO BACK TO BARCELONA
Enjoying the landscape
