Discover Northern Catalunya during a road trip

Discover  Northern Catalonia

Northern Catalonia is a land of dramatic contrasts, where the snow-capped Pyrenees meet the crystalline waters of the Costa Brava. This is the birthplace of surrealism and a haven for those who seek high-mountain adventures, secluded Mediterranean coves, and world-class gastronomy.


Journey through the legendary landscapes of the Empordà, a region shaped by the Tramuntana wind and home to the world-famous "Dalí Triangle." From the rugged cliffs of Cap de Creus to the medieval charm of the inland villages, the north offers an unparalleled sensory experience.


Girona, the heart of the North

Often called the "City of the Four Rivers," Girona is one of the most enchanting urban centers in Europe. A labyrinth of history, it serves as the perfect base for exploring the region. 

- The Call (Jewish Quarter): One of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in the world, featuring narrow stone alleys and hidden courtyards.

- Architecture & Cinema: Walk along the colorful houses of the Onyar River and climb the monumental stairs of the Cathedral—a site made famous as "King's Landing" in Game of Thrones.

- The Global Cycling Hub: Experience why professional cyclists from around the world call Girona home, with its vibrant café culture and legendary mountain passes just outside the city walls.


A combination of Nature and Heritage

- The Costa Brava: Discover "The Wild Coast" in its purest form. Wander through the whitewashed streets of Cadaqués, explore the botanical gardens of Blanes, or relax in the hidden calas of Begur and Palafrugell.

- The Volcanic Zone of La Garrotxa: Walk through the prehistoric landscape of Olot, home to over 40 dormant volcanoes and the enchanting Fageda d'en Jordà beech forest.

- The High Pyrenees: From the Romanesque churches of Vall de Boí to the alpine meadows of Val d'Aran, we provide access to the best skiing, hiking, and mountain culture in Southern Europe.


The legacy of Dalí 

Walk in the footsteps of a genius. From the labyrinthine Teatre-Museu Dalí in Figueres to his private sanctuary in Portlligat and the romantic Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol. Witness the landscape that birthed modern surrealism.


Gastronomy & the Empordà Wine Route

The north is a pilgrimage site for food lovers. It is the land of "Mar i Muntanya"—a unique culinary philosophy where lobster meets chicken and prawns meet wild mushrooms.

From the legacy of El Bulli to the legendary El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, experience the pinnacle of global fine dining.

Discover high-altitude vineyards and seaside estates. The local wines, influenced by the salty breeze and the slate soil, produce powerful reds and crisp, aromatic whites that are the soul of the region.

Wine & Gastronomy in Empordà

Mas Falgarona Boutique Hotel & Spa is a beautifully restored 17th-century farmhouse, peacefully situated in the Empordà countryside near Figueres. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves, and rolling hills, this 4-star hotel combines traditional Catalan architecture with elegant, contemporary design. The rooms are warm and spacious, many featuring original stone walls and wooden beams that reflect the authentic character of the region.


The hotel offers an intimate and relaxed atmosphere, ideal for couples and small groups seeking tranquility, gastronomy, and nature.

One of the highlights is the unique spa, housed in the former hayloft. It has been designed as a serene environment where guests can fully unwind. Additionally, the hotel features an excellent restaurant specializing in seasonal products from the Empordà, a garden with an outdoor pool, and complimentary bicycles to explore the surroundings.

Mas Falgarona is the perfect base for discovering the wines, landscapes, medieval villages, and cultural treasures of the Alt Empordà.


Peralada: castle, Michelin* Restaurant, and bodega

Perelada is undoubtedly one of the most prestigious wineries in the Empordà region, located in northeastern Catalonia. The winery's history is deeply intertwined with the medieval castle of the village of Peralada, where the tradition of winemaking dates back to the 14th century.

In 2022, Perelada opened its new wine cellar, designed by the renowned architectural firm RCR Arquitectes (Pritzker Prize winners). It is a spectacular structure built largely underground to minimize its impact on the surrounding landscape. After a tour of the bodega, you can enjoy a tasting menu at the Michelin-starred restaurant located within the castle. Here, Chef Javi Martínez leads the kitchen, offering refined interpretations of traditional Catalan cuisine.


The 3-days package includes:

- 2 nights accommodation including breakfast

- 1 hour of access to the hotel spa

- Light dinner at the hotel restaurant

- Michelin-starred tasting menu at Castell de Peralada Restaurant

- Guided tour and tasting at Bodega Perelada

History, Gastronomy & Dalí in Girona

Immerse yourself in the heart of Catalonia with a curated experience that blends medieval grandeur, world-renowned culinary excellence, and the surrealist imagination of Salvador Dalí.


Girona has evolved from a hidden medieval gem into a global pilgrimage site for food lovers. Its culinary identity is defined by the "Mar i Muntanya" (Sea and Mountain) philosophy, blending fresh seafood from the Costa Brava with rich meats and produce from the Pyrenean foothills. You cannot discuss Girona without mentioning the Roca brothers (Joan, Josep, and Jordi). Their flagship restaurant, El Celler de Can Roca, has twice been named the Best Restaurant in the World. The brothers have expanded their footprint in the city with Casa Cacao (a chocolate factory and hotel) and Rocambolesc (an  ice cream parlor), making their world-class flavors accessible to everyone walking through the city center.


Premium hotels

Choose between two of the city's most prestigious addresses, both located in the vibrant city center:

Hotel Carlemany, a sophisticated and comfortable landmark known for its spacious rooms and excellent service, providing the perfect home base for urban exploration.

Boutique Hotel Casa Cacao for the ultimate gastronomic pilgrimage, created by the legendary El Celler de Can Roca. Enjoy a chocolate-themed sanctuary where the breakfast is considered one of the finest in Europe.


Culture & Heritage: The 3-in-1 Pass

Unlock the secrets of Girona’s skyline with a single pass that provides access to the city’s most significant spiritual and artistic landmarks, Girona Cathedral, Basilica of Sant Feliu and Girona Art Museum.


Guided Walking Tour

Journey through time with an expert local guide. This tour isn't just about dates and kings; it’s about the soul of the city.

Stop along the way to sample local delicacies, including the iconic Xuixo (a cream-filled pastry). 

We can make your stay tailor-made with a walking tour special for Game of Thrones fans or a food tasting tour for foodies.


The Dalí Museum in Figueres

Just a quick 30-minute train ride takes you from Girona to Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dalí.

Visit the Dalí Theatre-Museum, designed by Dalí himself on the ruins of a former theatre, the museum houses a vast range of works that describe the trajectory of his unique career—from his earliest artistic experiences to his final creations.


This package is designed for those who want to see beyond the surface. By staying in the city center, you are steps away from Michelin-starred dining and hidden medieval plazas, while the proximity to Figueres allows you to experience the full "Dalí Triangle" influence without the rush.
