The “Camino de Ronda” borders the entire Costa Brava and was used to control maritime smuggling. Today, thanks to this road, you can discover beautiful spots that wouldn’t be accessible otherwise.

Our next visit will be Begur, a town with elegant mansions located beneath an old castle and famous for its “Indian Houses”. The so-called “Indians” were the town’s inhabitants who immigrated to America in the 18th century; they made a fortune and upon their retirement, they returned and built these elegant mansions. As you stroll along its streets, you will discover this uniquely beautiful architecture which features a unique blend of Mediterranean and Caribbean styles. Our next stops will be the towns of Peratallada and Pals, which are considered to be the best conserved medieval towns in Catalonia. Peratallada, declared a Historical-Artistic Site and Cultural Asset of National Interest, is one of the most outstanding examples of the country’s medieval architecture. You will be amazed by its peculiar location on top of a rock, as well as the spectacular moat excavated inside it, which surrounds the town. Upon arrival, we will take a stroll through its narrow winding streets, discover its original castle-palace, its exceptional fortification system and its stone houses whose streets have been virtually unchanged by the passage of time. The last stop will be Pals, declared Cultural Asset of National Interest, a town located inland and on top of a hill. The village is built entirely in an integrated medieval site. At the top, there is a cylindrical tower from the 12th century, which is visible from far away. It has an excellent terrace that offers stunning views of the Costa Brava and surroundings. Walking through the cobbled streets, you will feel like you have gone back in time. Take time to appreciate the round arches, facades with pointed window arches, stone balconies, all perfectly restored. At 18:00 the tour is finished and we go back to Barcelona, where we shall arrive at around 20:00.
