FreeAdventour
FreeAdventour is a hiking company offering donation-based hikes around Girona’s coastline and mountains. The hikes are free, and at the end you can give an optional donation. (Alex charges the guides 3 euro per person who came, so you should give more than that). The company is run by Alex, he created it in 2022.
The website is rarely updated in English so it will show a list of old hikes. You have to look at the website in Catalan or Spanish instead:
