Streets That Tell Girona’s Story
A walking route through the monumental neighborhood and the Jewish Quarter connects Girona’s layered urban fabric — ramblas, bridges and narrow lanes — providing the historical setting for the tasting stops that follow.
Tabernas and Small Plates
The tour visits specialized tavernas where guests sample small portions — tapas, pintxos or raciones — featuring regional cheeses, embutidos, anchovies from La Escala, reequesón de Fonteta and the local sweet, the Xuixo.
Empordà by the Glass
Tastings are paired with wines from the D.O. Empordà, a local winemaking area that produces whites, rosés and especially notable reds, showcasing why the province’s wineries have become a point of pride.
