You step into a cool, air-conditioned vehicle in central Barcelona and the city’s hum gives way to a Mediterranean cadence: olive groves, terraced vineyards, and the occasional church tower slipping past the window. Ninety minutes later the Old Quarter of Girona unfolds — narrow cobblestone lanes, the River Onyar’s painted façades, and the stone sweep of medieval walls that invite a slow, deliberate pace.
