To learn more, why not follow <strong>Section 4<\/strong> of the Grand Tour of Catalonia, from La Seu d\u2019Urgell to the universe of Dal\u00ed in Figueres and the surrounding area. This route, of over 2,000 km (1,200 miles) in length, travels around Catalonia in five sections that you can adapt to your taste. Are you ready to get into the car? <strong>Look forward to premium service and a high-class premium fleet of electric and hybrid cars at our SIXT branches in Girona.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#stage1\">Stage 1: Views of Pedraforca<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#stage2\">Stage 2: High-altitude villages<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#stage3\">Stage 3: Active tourism in N\u00faria<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#stage4\">Stage 4: Soaring over volcanoes<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#stage5\">Stage 5: Towards the birthplace of Dal\u00ed<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage1\">Stage 1: Views of Pedraforca<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take off directly at the airport from the SIXT branch Girona Aeropuerto, for example, in a comfortable BMW X1 hybrid or a Tesla Model 3 electric.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start the day driving along the scenic road from La Seu d\u2019Urgell to Pedraforca mountain. This route offers fantastic views of beautiful villages such as El Ges, Adra\u00e9n and F\u00f3rnols. Stop off in G\u00f3sol, where the artist Pablo Picasso lived for three months. The G\u00f3sol Picasso Centre, where visitors can find out more about his career and the landscapes that inspired him, was constructed in his honour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And very nearby you will see one of Catalonia\u2019s most emblematic mountains, Pedraforca. It is a great favourite among Catalan hikers. We recommend a circular route around its perimeter so you can get to know it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"967\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Pedraforca-967x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Grand Tour of Catalonia: Pedraforca\" class=\"wp-image-4093 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Pedraforca-967x1024.jpeg 967w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Pedraforca-283x300.jpeg 283w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Pedraforca-768x814.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Pedraforca.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 967px) 100vw, 967px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 967px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 967\/1024;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A couple consulting a map with Pedraforca in the background (Pyrenees of Catalonia) @ Catalan Tourist Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>And to round off the day, enjoy some of the local cuisine of the Bergued\u00e0 region: <em>p\u00e8sols negres <\/em>(black peas) with bacon, <em>patates emmascarades<\/em> (potatoes cooked with Catalan black pudding) and <em>trumfos amb col<\/em>, a traditional dish of mashed potato and cabbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage2\">Stage 2: High-altitude villages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This stage will take you to the villages of La Cerdanya. Bellver de Cerdanya is one of them. It used to be a hillside fortress, and some of the remains of its mediaeval past are still visible. The Church of Santa Mar\u00eda de Tall\u00f3 is very nearby, and can be reached on foot. It is one of the important waypoints on the Way of St James as its goes through Catalonia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"810\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Romanesque_church_of_Tallo_Bellver-1024x810.jpeg\" alt=\"Grand Tour of Catalonia: Romanesque church of Tall\u00f3 in Bellver\" class=\"wp-image-4094 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Romanesque_church_of_Tallo_Bellver-1024x810.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Romanesque_church_of_Tallo_Bellver-300x237.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Romanesque_church_of_Tallo_Bellver-768x607.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Romanesque_church_of_Tallo_Bellver.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/810;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Romanesque church of Tall\u00f3 in Bellver de la Cerdanya (Pyrenees of Catalonia) @ Catalan Tourist Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stop on the route is Puigcerd\u00e0, famous for its charcuterie, such as white and black <em>bull<\/em>, a sausage made from minced pork, fat and blood, and <em>pa de fetge<\/em>, a kind of liver sausage. You can visit other mountain villages near Puigcerd\u00e0, such as Urtx, Alp, Das and Meranges, all of which provide spectacular views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This stage ends at Castellar de N\u2019Hug, known for its beautiful natural setting, its Romanesque heritage, and for being the source of the River Llobregat, which flows from the Catalan Pyrenees as far as Barcelona, where it reaches the sea. Castellar de N\u2019Hug is also known for its giant croissants, so don\u2019t leave before trying one. <strong>You can also hire electric and hybrid vehicles, which are suitable for comfortable journeys in mountainous terrain, from the SIXT branch Girona Estaci\u00f3n directly at the train station.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage3\">Stage 3: Active tourism in N\u00faria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The day begins in Ripoll with a breakfast of Catalan sausage served with <em>seques<\/em> (haricot beans). When you have eaten your fill, it\u2019s time to visit Santa Maria de Ripoll monastery, a symbol of mediaeval Catalonia. Its imposing entrance has been described as the \u201cbible in stone\u201d, with images from different bible stories along with a range of geometric motifs, plants, and human figures carved in stone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there, drive to Ribes de Freser, where you will take the rack railway, the only way to reach the Vall de N\u00faria valley. This mountain landscape is ideal for hiking, and also for activities such as horse riding in summer and skiing in winter. The valley also houses the Shrine of Our Lady of N\u00faria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When your visit to N\u00faria is complete, return to Ribes de Freser to pick up the car and drive to the village of Camprodon. Stop off there to try the local charcuterie and the village\u2019s popular biscuits. The last stop of the day is the municipality of Olot. The road between the two places passes a number of beautiful villages: Beget, Sant Joan de les Fonts and Castellfollit de la Roca, perched above a cliff. <strong>The ride is particularly joyfull, for example, in a pleasant Jeep Compass hybrid, which you can get at the SIXT stations Girona Aeropuerto and Girona Estaci\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage4\">Stage 4: Soaring over volcanoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>La Garrotxa Natural Park is well known as a volcanic zone. To discover the park, you can choose between walking among the volcanoes or flying over them in a hot air balloon. The latter option is the more interesting of the two, since it provides spectacular views of Santa Margarida and Croscat volcanoes, the best known in the region. Your adventure begins as dawn is breaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Natural_Park_of_the_Garrotxa-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"Grand Tour of Catalonia: Natural Park of the Garrotxa\" class=\"wp-image-4092 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Natural_Park_of_the_Garrotxa-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Natural_Park_of_the_Garrotxa-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Natural_Park_of_the_Garrotxa-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Natural_Park_of_the_Garrotxa.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1024px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Balloons flying over the Natural Park of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone (Pyrenees of Catalonia) @ Catalan Tourist Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterwards, head for Olot and have a wander through its traditional market. You will see all of the delicacies the area is known for: pulses, charcuterie, chocolate, and ratafia, one of the most highly prized Catalan liqueurs. If you are looking for the opportunity to get back to nature, then the Fageda d\u2019en Jord\u00e0 is not to be missed. This is a beech forest growing on the lava field of Croscat volcano.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stage5\">Stage 5: Towards the birthplace of Dal\u00ed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, the day begins at Banyoles Lake. You can take a trip in a kayak to the shacks scattered around the shores of the lake. These constructions, which look like lakeside dwellings, were used for fishing. And if you feel like a quick dip, the lake has some designated bathing areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then it is time to say goodbye to Banyoles and head for Figueres, with a stop along the way at Besal\u00fa. The town is known for its Romanesque bridge, its old town and its <em>call<\/em>, or Jewish quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower-683x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"Grand Tour of Catalonia: Galatea Tower\" class=\"wp-image-4091 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower-683x1024.jpeg 683w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower-200x300.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower-1024x1536.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sixt.co.uk\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/sites\/11\/2023\/10\/Grand_Tour_Catalonia_EN_Galatea_Tower.jpeg 1080w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 683px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 683\/1024;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Detail of the Galatea Tower, part of the Dal\u00ed Theatre-Museum complex (Costa Brava) @ Catalan Tourist Board<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Figueres, the birthplace of Salvador Dal\u00ed, is the last stop on Section 4 of the route.
