Day Trip to the Flower Festival & Medieval Besalú
Explore Girona in Full Bloom – Day Trip to the Flower Festival & Medieval Besalú 🌸✨
Looking for a picture-perfect spring getaway? Join us for an unforgettable day trip to Girona, one of the most charming and historic cities in northern Spain — and just a stone’s throw from the French border.
With over 2,000 years of history, Girona is a place where Roman walls, medieval towers, and colorful riverside houses come together in a stunning blend of past and present. The Barri Vell (Old Quarter) is so magical, it was even used as a filming location for Game of Thrones!
Even better, you’ll be visiting during Temps de Flors – the city’s famous flower festival, held every May since 1954. For two weeks, Girona transforms into a blooming paradise, with flower installations decorating its streets, staircases, and historic monuments. It’s a feast for the senses and one of the most Instagrammable events in Catalonia.
But the day doesn’t end there! In the afternoon, we’ll head to Besalú, a beautifully preserved medieval village just 40 km away. Think cobbled streets, ancient stone bridges, and timeless charm – it’s like stepping into a fairytale.
