Question 1

How far is Banyoles from Barcelona, and is it worth the drive?

Accepted Answer

It's about 100km north, roughly 90 minutes by car depending on traffic. If your kids are 5+, yes—the hands-on stuff (grinding wheat, throwing spears, making fire) keeps them engaged for the full 2 hours. Under 5, it's trickier because there's a lot of standing around listening, and the site is outdoors with minimal shade.

Question 2

Do we need to book in advance, or can we just show up?

Accepted Answer

You need to book ahead—it only runs if there's a minimum number of people signed up. There are only two dates: May 30 and July 25, both at 5pm. Book through the Cultura Banyoles website or call ahead to confirm the session is actually happening before you drive out there.

Question 3

What should we bring or wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear clothes that can get dirty—kids will be handling flour, soil, and fire-starting materials. Closed-toe shoes are smart since you're walking around an archaeological site. Bring water and sunscreen; the site is mostly open air with limited shelter.
