Catalonia is a region full of resources and scenarios, from mountains to virgin beaches, from large cities to medieval cities. A tour starting from Girona and ending in Figueras. I love this region a lot, it’s been my home for 7 years and I think there are few regions in the world that are so complete from every point of view.

The Gothic and Raval neighborhoods are the essences of Barcelona. Both are part of Ciutat Vella, in fact, the Gothic is the oldest neighborhood of the city and includes the remains of the city’s Roman wall and several notable medieval landmarks. However, despite its name, a number of landmarks Gothic buildings in the neighborhood do not date to the Middle Ages. The Barri Gòtic retains a labyrinthine street plan, with many small streets opening out into squares. Most of the quarter is closed to regular traffic. We can start with the Free walking tour of Barcelona.
GIRONA
Girona, the second most visited and populated city of Catalonia. Famous for the Jewish quarter, the Rambla and Gothic style architecture so close to Barcelona but so different. In 2016, the city received the European award to those municipalities that have made significant efforts to promote the ideal of European unity. It was the second Spanish city to get the prize, after Santiago de Compostela.
