On this tour, our aim is to show you in a single day the most representative and emblematic places along the northeast coast of Catalonia, places of unsurpassed beauty that will give you a glimpse of everything this area has to offer. The Costa Brava is not to be missed!
Our departure is from Barcelona every Friday at 8:30 a.m., we recommend you to be there about 15 minutes before.
We will take the motorway and around 10:15 a.m. we will arrive in Calella de Palafrugell, a small fishing village that still preserves today the traditional appearance of the past.
It is a town of great beauty both in architecture and landscape. The town, dotted with small coves, becomes a fusion of land and sea that is an incomparable setting.
You will have free time to explore the town, enjoy the scenery and, no doubt, take some excellent photographs.
At approximately 11:15 a.m., we will start walking along the Camino de Ronda, which will take us to the neighbouring village of Llafranc. We will walk for about 30 minutes, suitable for all ages and with easy terrain for everyone.
The "Camino de Ronda" runs along the entire Costa Brava and was used to control maritime smuggling. Today, thanks to this, you can discover beautiful places that would otherwise not be accessible.
Llafranc is also a small, elegant and captivating seaside village, with all the delights of the villages of this coast.
Our next visit is to l'Estartit, a coastal town with an important harbour famous the world over as a major diving centre, as the archipelago of the Medes Islands is only one kilometre off the coast.
The Medes Islands are of great interest due to the wide variety of flora and fauna that inhabit the entire marine area, with more than 1200 classified species. The ecosystem has been identified as the best marine reserve in the western Mediterranean. It was declared a National Natural Park and ZEPIM (Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance).
You will have free time for lunch and a short walk around the village and at 15:00 we will embark.
The sailing lasts approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. First we will head for the outer islands - the views are spectacular! The itinerary continues towards the impressive cliffs of the Serra de Montgrí, only accessible by boat and one of the most preserved and unspoilt areas of the Costa Brava.
In the afternoon, we will travel to Pals, a village located inland and on top of a hill. The village is built entirely on an integrated medieval site. At the top, there is a 12th century cylindrical tower, which is visible from afar. It has an excellent terrace that offers stunning views of the Costa Brava and its surroundings.
Walking through the cobbled streets will make you feel as if you have stepped back in time. Take your time to appreciate the round arches, the facades with pointed arched windows, stone balconies, all perfectly restored.
At 18:00 h, the tour ends and we return to Barcelona, where we will arrive around 20:00 h. Don't miss this opportunity to explore the Costa Brava in one day!
