Banyoles Historic Walking Tour

Enjoy a guided tour around Catalonia's largest natural lake with a complete and intimate tour that combines the natural heritage of the lake with the cultural legacy of the old town of Banyoles. In a small group and accompanied by a local guide, you'll learn about the karstic origin of the lake, its legends, and the historic streets of the center. In the heart of the old town, try one of Girona's most famous delicacies: the xuixo, a baked dough cake filled with custard. And if you come on a Wednesday morning, you'll stroll through the lively weekly market, full of colors, aromas, and local products. All at a leisurely pace that lets you enjoy the surroundings, history, and authentic daily life of Banyoles.​
