About this tour
This walk stays inside El Call, one of the best-preserved medieval Jewish quarters in Europe. You see the long spine of Carrer de la Força and the steep stepped alley of Cúndaro, with its low doorways and hidden courtyards. It is a slower, closer look than a general old town walk.
We start on the main street and work into the narrower lanes as the light allows, and I stop wherever a doorway or an old stone catches your eye. Questions come whenever you have them, and afterwards I send over the names of what we saw.
This suits anyone with an interest in Jewish history or medieval town planning. It also works well as a quieter add-on to a first look at Girona.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
