We had a lovely day with Hengameh and Eduardo, traveling to Girona, Pals and Palafrugell. We were especially taken with h the small village of Pals, it is remarkably well preserved and we felt like we were stepping back in time. Hengameh is very knowledgeable about the region and lived in Girona so she had great insight into the best spots to see while we were there.

We had a nice time visiting Girona and Palafrugell. We visited on one of the Catalan holidays, Sant Jordi, so it was extra full with people and spring weather made it cool, but Dulce had warned us to wear layers which helped. She greeted us with gifts in honor of the holiday which was very kind. Our driver, Wander, was very safe and nice. Dulce has a lot of historical knowledge and passionately shares that knowledge. I think if you wanted to visit (and stay in a quiet beach town, Palafrugell would be a nice break from huge crowds and a fast pace.

Dating from the 11th to the 19th centuries, the cathedral showcases a mix of architectural styles, from its Romanesque monastery to its grand Baroque façade. The cathedral's most impressive feature is its expansive Gothic nave, which at 22 meters (72 feet) wide, is the largest of its kind in the world.
