Home > Girona Jewish Tour

Guided tour around Girona where you will discover its Jewish history and the rest of the main sites of the city.

If you have been a few days in Barcelona and you are tired of the tourist crowds, the ancient city of Girona is the perfect place to visit to scape the bustle of Barcelona. Girona is only 36 minutes taking the speed train and by car it is only 100 km.

What they say

  • We enjoyed our tour, which was primarily of the Jewish quarter, very much. Miquel was knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. My family, including our children ages 20, 18 and 12 also enjoyed the tour and learned a lot about the history of the Jewish people in Girona. It was a worthwhile excision from Barcelona.

    by Holly Warshauer

  • Miquel was extremely warm and had a wonderful sense of humor. It felt like he tuned into our group immediately and was able to blend the old and the new with a very firm sense of Jewish history. In addition he finished off with a tour of non-Jewish Girona which was just as interesting. Woderful day!
