Girona Region

In the Girona region, there’s more to explore than just the well-known spots. Banyoles offers a peaceful lake where you can walk, bike, or even row across the calm waters. Surrounded by nature, it’s a great place to relax or have a quiet picnic by the shore.

Further along the coast, Begur adds another layer to Girona’s charm. With its scenic coves, beaches, and medieval streets, Begur is perfect for those seeking a mix of history and coastal beauty. It’s a place where you can spend hours exploring and taking in the views.

Travel Queries

Visit the small town of Sant Hilari Sacalm, where the locals still believe in the power of the natural springs. You can fill your own bottles from the public fountains or take a walk through the nearby forests, where streams flow from the mountains.

Head to Peratallada early in the morning before the crowds show up. Walk through its quiet streets and see the village come to life as the shops open. Grab a fresh pastry from a local bakery and explore the small shops at your own pace. Once you’ve taken it all in, find a peaceful spot around the village to relax and enjoy the quiet. This way, you can enjoy Peratallada without feeling like just another tourist.

Try the walking trails in the Vall de Bianya. These aren’t the usual tourist paths, but they offer some of the most peaceful experiences in the region. Slow down as you pass by old farmhouses, listen to the birds, and take in the changing landscapes. Pack a simple lunch and enjoy it under the shade of a chestnut tree, with no pressure to reach the end of the trail.

Join a mushroom foraging tour in the forests around La Garrotxa, a tradition passed down through generations. In autumn, locals head into the woods to search for wild mushrooms. Spend the morning learning to identify different varieties and enjoy the quiet of the forest. Afterward, many local markets and shops offer fresh mushroom-based dishes, giving you a taste of the region’s seasonal flavors. It’s a unique way to connect with Girona’s countryside and experience a tradition often overlooked by travelers.
