Discover Banyoles on a unique tour taking in Catalonia's largest natural lake and the town's charming old town, in a small-group guided experience that combines nature, history, and local cuisine. Accompanied by a local guide, you will learn about the karstic origin of the lake, its legends, and the historic streets of the city center.
