The seafront Palace of Maricel, situated between streets that still maintain the aspect of a historic town, is worth visiting. Sitges also has many modernist buildings, like Museo del Cau Ferrat (Cau Ferrat Museum) and Museu Maricel (MaricelMuseum).

The city of Girona is situated in the north of Catalonia and it’s an hour’s drive from Barcelona. You can also get there by train. A train leaves from Passeig de Gràcia every few hours during the day.
The old part of the city is enclosed by a wall. You can see the city walking along the Passeig Arqueològic and the Passeig de la Muralla, where there is a beautiful viewpoint over the city. Among the medieval streets stands out the Jewish Quarter, El Call, where a small community lived there until the end of the 15th century. It’s one of the best conserved medieval centres of Europe.
