We stay in a beautiful situation in the region of Catalunya, with its marvellous sandy beaches and green forests of the Montnegre mountain range.
Taste a bygone era in two attractive towns
As part of our optional excursion package, we go inland to see Catalunya as it was hundreds of years ago. Girona still has its ancient valley ways and numerous shops packed with items of curiosity. The river sweeps through the town just as it did when it brought prosperity in Roman times. In Pals, enjoy a coffee as you sit at one of the cafés and admire the extensive views across the surrounding countryside.
Barcelona – buzzing with activity
We also visit Barcelona, one of the Mediterranean’s biggest cities. It is packed with interest and sizzles with creativity. La Rambla is the most famous pedestrian precinct in Spain and is alive at all hours of the day and night. Barcelona’s vibrant life is clear, with the shops, street vendors, cafés and street acts providing the entertainment. The art nouveau buildings created by Gaudi are astonishing, especially his unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia cathedral. The medieval centre has the fourteenth-century town hall, the Gothic cathedral and the royal palace, which, together with museums, parks, waterfront entertainment, the port and modern shops, ensure a full day out in Barcelona.
High above the world at Montserrat
We drive through arid, desert-like scenery on our third excursion as the coach climbs to the ancient Benedictine monastery of Montserrat. The scenery has natural beauty high amongst the mountains with spectacular views. The monastery has many treasures to see and the mountains provide stunning walks and cable car rides.
