Seaside towns like Calella de Palafrugell and Cadaqués have a special atmosphere, with fascinating sandy beaches. A little further inland, but very close, is Sant Pere de Rodes, one of the most majestic monasteries in Catalonia, which we always recommend allowing a few hours of your trip to visit. Spending a little more time in the car, this time on smoother roads, we find inland cities like Girona, considered one of the 10 best tourist destinations in the world thanks to its cathedral and neighbourhoods that still preserve the spirit of bygone times, or the beautiful medieval town of Besalú, where you can also enjoy incredible mountain cuisine.

Girona is the capital and largest city in the region, and boasts a truly spectacular old town.

It's no wonder that, due to its medieval atmosphere, the series "Game of Thrones" chose Girona to film some of its scenes for the sixth season.
