One of my places in Girona y Costa Brava

Besalú Bridge

Besalú

Dr. Abdulmajeed Al-MudarraMy tip
“35 minutes from Girona; come early before its alleys fill up.”

A preserved medieval town, entered over a fortified 11th-century stone bridge across the Fluvià river; it has a Jewish quarter and a rare mikveh (ritual bath).

What to see

The fortified stone bridge · the Jewish quarter and the mikveh (ritual bath) · Plaça de la Llibertat and its arcades · Sant Pere monastery · the medieval lanes

How to get there

Teisa bus from Girona (≈40 min) — by car ≈35 min

Easy to reach, needs a car

Mainly by car (few buses from Girona). Park at the bridge, then a short walk; the bridge is paved and sloping, and the town is small. Cafés and restaurants. Crowded on holidays.
