There are are many historic and beautiful locations to visit in the nearby area.
Girona
Visit the historical city of Girona.
Parts of the ‘Barri-Vell’ date back to over a thousand years, a maze of alleyways and ancient architecture including the Cathedral and Arab Baths.
Banyoles Lake
One of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula, crystal, clear water, boat trips, lakeside restaurants and best of all, lots of ducks to feed.
Tossa de Mar
A beautiful medieval fishing town, lots of alleyways and steps to race around, two beaches, a tourist ‘train’ that takes you up to the castle and glass-bottomed boat trips visiting secluded coves.
Besalú
Beautiful medieval fortified town with an amazing bridge over a wide shallow river, very good for skimming stones. Again, lots of alleyways, outdoor restaurants and very few cars, nice playgrounds. Tourist train.
