Walking  Catalonia  

WALKING CATALONIA is based in Besalú, just 30 minutes from Figueres and Girona, and barely an hour from the French frontier at La Jonquera.

We organize tailor-made walks in and around Besalú during which we visit some of the finest local sites and discover the best of the local wildlife, from orchids to eagles and lizards to butterflies.

All walks led by MIKE LOCKWOOD, author, naturalist, guide and local resident (in Catalan, English, French or Spanish).
