Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrival Barcelona
Location: Barcelona
Arrive at Barcelona airport and pick up your car. Enjoy this magnificent city. isit the Park Güell in the northwestern suburbs of the city and see what Gaudi’s vision of an ideal ‘garden city’ was. The park remains unfinished but enough was built to captivate the imagination, with a myriad of mosaics made from irregular and broken pieces of tiles. Enjoy the views over Barcelona and the Mediterranean before continuing to the still unfinished Sagrada Familia basilica, with designs that stretched the realms of the imagination and have made it the iconic symbol of the city. The basilica has three fascinating façades, one of which – the surreal Nativity façade – was more or less completed before Gaudi’s passing, and only recently the roof of the nave has been completed.
Overnight in Barcelona area.
Day 2 : Barcelona – Lloret De Mar (80 Km – 1.5 Hrs)
Location: Lloret de Mar
Enjoy breakfast and drive to Lloret de Mar. Lloret is a Mediterranean beach town just 75km far from Barcelona. You will be able to enjoy some of the crystal blue waters in your way. But culture will also be present as you will admire the church of Sant Roma or walk through the Puig de Castellet Iberian ruins. After enjoying the nightlife.
Overnight in Lloret de Mar.
Day 3 : Lloret De Mar – Palamos – Palafrugel – Begur – Lloret De Mar (140 Km – 2 Hrs)
Location: Lloret de Mar
Breakfast at the hotel. Today we suggest to explore some of the charming villages on the Costa Brava passing by impressive cliffs, beaches of golden sand and typical Mediterranean landscapes. First stop is Palamos with its fascinating landscape. Stroll around the streets and enjoy the different views. Continue along the coast towards Palafrugell. The cork industry has determined the village’s evolution and present appearance. It preserves the original layout of the streets and its white houses. The harbour is home to brightly coloured traditional boats, contrasting the white buildings and golden sand of the beach. Continue to the village of Begur, which sits at the foot of an austere castle on a hill. The view from the top is stunning, from where you can contemplate the intense blue of the Mediterranean.
Overnight in Lloret de Mar.
