Our take

It's an easy way to see medieval Catalonia in a day from Barcelona without driving: Rupit, Besalú and Girona, plus lunch facing Lake Banyoles, with a car and guide just for you. Big pluses: hotel pickup and lunch included. The downside is the price for two (from about €340 per person). It mainly pays off for groups of 3 or 4.

The experience

How the day works

Your guide picks you up at your hotel and you drive into inland Catalonia. The first stop is Rupit, with lanes of 14th-century houses and a hanging bridge over the river. Next comes Besalú, entered over its 12th-century Romanesque bridge. At midday, a Catalan lunch at a restaurant facing Lake Banyoles, and in the afternoon a walk through Girona's old town, one of the great cities of the Middle Ages. Then it's back to your Barcelona hotel.
