MEDIEVAL COSTA BRAVA
ITINERARY
Enjoy
a unique one-day guided tour from Barcelona to Costa Brava and back.
For 11 hours our local experts will share with you the secrets of an
incredible land in the intimate atmosphere of a private group:
unspoiled hidings, amazing history, useful tips and curious
anecdotes. We have designed an itinerary both comprehensive and
unique but also allowing time for leisure and relaxation.
The
tour begins at Calella de Palafrugell, a picturesque coastal village
peppered with small coves and coloured rowboats. After visiting the
village we will walk along the Ronda Promenade that follows the
seaside to El Golfet, an unspoiled hidden cove surrounded by
luxuriant vegetation of unbeatable beauty. At this beach we will have
free time to enjoy its pristine waters.
Then
we will set off for L’Estartit, a place of reference for scuba
diving and snorkelling enthusiasts. Here we will have two hours for
lunch at one of the surrounding fish and seafood restaurants before
embarking for an hour and a half on a glass-bottomed catamaran to the
Natural Reserve of the Medas Islands. During the trip we will observe
the seabed and sail along the paradise coves of Macizo del Montgrí
until reaching the astonishing Roca Foradada.
In the
afternoon we will set off for Pals, a medieval historical monumental
ensemble consisting of the castle, the village and the fortified
walls. Towering over Pals there is the Torre de las Horas, a
Romanesque tower built between 11th and 13th Centuries. We will spend
one hour traversing the gothic quarters and narrow and steep alleys
of this medieval village.
From
Pals we will set out on our way back to Barcelona where we will say
goodbye at 7:30 pm.
