Discover Banyoles on a unique tour that takes you from Catalonia's largest natural lake to its charming old town, in a small-group guided experience that combines nature, history, and local cuisine. Accompanied by a local guide, you will learn about the lake's karstic origins, its legends, and the historic streets of the city centre.
Right in the heart of the old town, you'll have the chance to try one of the most famous delicacies in the province of Girona: the xuixo, a baked pastry filled with custard. The tasting takes place at a renowned local pastry shop, winner of the 2018 World's Best Xuixo award, offering a sweet stop that connects directly to Banyoles' local tradition.
And if you come on a Wednesday morning, you'll pass through the bustling weekly market, brimming with colours, aromas, and local produce. All at a leisurely pace that allows you to enjoy the surroundings, the history, and the authentic everyday life of Banyoles.
