A scenic one-hour panoramic drive west from Palamós brings you to the beautiful town of Girona, known as the Immortal City. Girona is rich in historic treasures and is one of the most interesting monumental cities in Spain.
You'll stop at the El Call area. This is one of the best-preserved Jewish Quarters in Europe, having been continuously inhabited for almost seven centuries. At the very heart of the Jewish Quarter are the Arab Baths, with their beautiful arches. Despite their name, the baths' architecture is Western Romanesque.
Visit the Bonastruch Ca Porta Museum on the site of the old synagogue.
Enjoy some free time to explore further or to purchase a snack (at your own expense).
Don't miss viewing the outside of the great Catalonian Romanesque Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants before you reboard the coach and return to the ship.
Please note: Use of an audio headset (included) will enhance your tour experience. Wear comfortable walking shoes. The hours of the Bonastruch Ca Porta Museum vary seasonally; Sep-Jun calls may omit this visit; free time will be substituted. Terrain includes even and uneven surfaces, cobblestones, inclines, and steps. Tour does not operate on holidays.
