Discover Spain's Costa Brava & Beyond
Catalonia is an eclectic mix of Gaudi’s playful mosaics, unique gastronomy, the Emporda region painted in rolling countryside and farmhouses, the majestic Garrotxa Volcanic Natural Park and the Costa Brava with its long stretches of pristine coastline. The area's variety allows you to craft a journey tailored to your interests, whether it be avid cycling, hot air ballooning over ancient craters, tapa tours, cooking lessons, vineyard visits, or exclusive museum and gallery visits. Experience Catalonia on a Bespoke adventure. Below are some highlights you can experience on your trip.
Discover the possibilities:
Catalonia Biking
Experience the region's glorious scenery on two wheels as you cruise along ribbon roads through a patchwork of agricultural land and the cliffside coast. From your bike, you can see the peaks of the Pyrénées mountain range looming on the horizon. Volcanic flats stretch out ahead, leading to unbelievably pastoral fields. Along the way stands villages shaped by Roman architects, medieval craftspeople and surrealist artists.
Catalonia Multi-Active Adventure
From city to countryside to coast, stroll through mosaic-filled parks and trek rugged coastlines. Whether by kayak, sailboat or surfboard, spend hours along the crystalline waters of the Costa Brava among its secret coves and beaches, including the Cap de Creus with its striking landscape.
Catalonian Food, Art & Culture
Dabble in Dali and Gaudi’s eccentric worlds with your knowledgable guide on visits to their most exotic works peppered throughout the region, like the largest surrealist “object” in the world, the Teatro-Museo de Salvador Dalí. Indulge in molecular cuisine in its birthplace. Meet our charming local hosts who will share their favourite stories and recipes over a glass of wine.
Catalonia Family Adventure
Explore Barcelona's Old Town with a scavenger hunt through the Gothic Quarter. Spend the afternoon cruising Ciutadella city park and the waterfront by bike. Tilt at the mosaic-filled walkways in Park Güell. Come face-to-face with La Sagrada Familia, Antonio Gaudi's unfinished masterpiece and complete the day with a Catalan mosaic workshop. All before heading along the coast to paddle, surf and swim the turquoise Costa Brava.
