Great day out of Girona - Of course, one had to have a nice weather ro enjoy completely this trip. That one was checked. Another very important element is a guide (and the driver). Ours was Pau and he made our day really memorable. Knowledgable, informative, helpful, we enjoyed his comentaries and guidanance. Our trip took place out of the high season. Positive things were no tourist crowds, moderate temperature, autumn feel in the nature. Besalu, Castle on the Rock,volcano, Santa Pau, Banyoles may be condensed to have in one go but otherwise you will miss one or more of them. Anyhow , this is to have a taste of those places ans you can decide to return to some of them one day for a longer exploration. Recommendes lunch place was great, food even offered as a menu was excellent and greatly priced. Definitelly recommended tour Nd knce again thank you Pau.
