The Experience

We met up right by the Palau de la Música in Barcelona — which I’d only seen from outside before, so that was already a cool start. Our guide, Marta, handed out little maps and cracked a joke about “surviving the Seven Kingdoms traffic” as we loaded into the van. The drive north went quick. I remember the light shifting as we left the city behind — everything looked softer through the window, like someone had turned down the volume on Barcelona’s buzz.

Girona felt different right away. It’s quiet in that old stone way, you know? Marta pointed out where Arya Stark ran through those twisting alleys (she even had screenshots on her phone — pretty fun to compare). At one point, she handed us all ice cream shaped like Ser Jaime’s golden hand. I’ll be honest: it tasted better than it looked. There was this moment when an old man waved at us from his balcony above the Jewish quarter — no idea if he cared about Game of Thrones or just liked seeing tour groups pass by.

After wandering on our own for a bit (I got lost for five minutes but found a tiny bakery), we drove to Blanes for lunch. The owner greeted us with homemade sangria and kept refilling plates — anchovies, tomato bread, some kind of stew I still think about. It was loud in that good way; people talking over each other in Catalan and Spanish, clinking glasses. Later at the medieval castle nearby, the wind picked up and you could see out to the sea — not sure why but standing there felt like pressing pause on everything else.

What’s included
