Segway Ride Through the Medieval Villages of Pals and Peratallada

Context This segway tour winds through two of the best-preserved medieval enclaves in the Baix Empordà region of Girona. These historic villages offer a journey back in time, with cobbled streets, arcaded plazas, and ancient castles nestled in a rural landscape dominated by rice fields and small family farms. The route covers approximately 15 km with a minimal elevation gain of just 26 meters, making it ideal for low-impact outdoor activity.

The Experience After a brief safety and operation briefing, you’ll glide through the old town of Pals, feeling the cool breeze rustle the leaves of fruit trees lining the path. At Peratallada, you’ll dismount to walk through the main square, the medieval moat, and the historic church, while your guide shares local stories and legends. Then, you’ll resume your segway journey toward the small rural settlements of Pantaleu and Sant Julià de Boada, enjoying quiet moments broken only by the soft crunch of wheels on cobblestones.
