Medieval Private Tour Besalú Castellfollit St. Pau from Barcelona

The tour begins in Besalú, one of Catalonia’s best-preserved medieval jewels. Crossing its iconic 12th-century Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià River feels like stepping into another era. Wander through narrow stone streets, explore the evocative Jewish Quarter and its ancient mikveh, and admire the historic monasteries and squares that reflect centuries of cultural heritage. Besalú sets the perfect tone for a journey into the past. Next, travel to the dramatic landscape of Castellfollit de la Roca, perched atop a stunning basalt cliff formed by ancient lava flows. This tiny village seems suspended in the air, offering breathtaking views of the rivers and valleys below. A stop here is as much about natural wonder as it is about history. The tour concludes at the peaceful village of Santa Pau, nestled within the heart of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park. Its perfectly preserved medieval core—dominated by the castle and the charming porticoed square
