Spain

We stay in a beautiful location on the Mediterranean coastline. You can bask in the sunshine on the sandy beach and swim in the warm, clear waters of the Mediterranean. If you’re feeling more active, there is so much to do - hire boats, play volleyball, explore the shops….

For the May group, our minimum age is lowered from 7 to 3 years old.

Our hotels have an outdoor pool and are located in the coastal towns of Calella and Pineda de Mar. In May we stay in a three-star hotel and in October we stay in a four-star hotel.

Our optional package of three excursions takes us to explore the highlights of the area - Barcelona, Montserrat and Girona with Besalu.

In Girona, a walk along the old city walls provides an excellent view, while the shops below have lots of interesting items to browse. The river sweeps through the town, just as it did when it brought prosperity in Roman times. 

We also head into the impressive Pyrenees region of Spain. Besalu was once the capital of an independent country and the photogenic 11th-century bridge dates from this time. The attractive cobbled streets of the town make it a pleasant place to wander.

We visit Barcelona, one of the Mediterranean’s most important cities. It is packed with interest and sizzles with creativity. Our coach stays with us to take us between the key sites. The art nouveau buildings created by Gaudi are astonishing, especially his unfinished masterpiece, the Sagrada Familia.

La Rambla is the most famous pedestrian precinct in Spain and is alive at all hours of the day and night - the shops, street vendors, cafés and street acts provide the entertainment.

Together with the beach, museums, parks and waterfront entertainment, you are sure to find something to do in Barcelona!

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.

We meet each evening for a helpful Bible talk and a time of singing. This is followed by a meal in the hotel restaurant (which generally opens at 19:30). 

With the wide, sandy beaches and the attractive towns, this is a winner in every way!
