Set off on a full-day trip to Costa Brava from Barcelona and discover one of the prettiest coastal regions of Catalonia by visiting Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc, Pals, and Estartit.
Costa Brava Day Trip
Climb aboard a comfortable air-conditioned coach at the scheduled time and relax as you head north towards the province of Girona.
Your first stop will be Calella de Palafrugell, a small fishing village with pleasant white houses surrounded by beautiful coves. You’ll have time to explore its historic center at your own pace.
Next, you’ll walk along the Caminos de Ronda (in Catalan: Camins de Ronda), a picturesque coastal footpath once used to control and stop smuggling. After a short stretch, you'll arrive at Llafranc, another elegant and charming seaside resort.
Afterwards, you'll drive to L’Estartit, a town located between the foothills and the Mediterranean Sea. The seaside resort is especially famous for its port and incredible diving since the islets called Illes Medes are only a few minutes away from the coast. The islands are considered the most important marine reserve in the Western Mediterranean, with over 1,200 species of flora and fauna.
In L’Estartit, you’ll have time to eat at your own leisure and discover its delightful port and then board a Nautilus, a boat that will sail around the Medas Islands and then to the cliffs of Sierra de “Montgrí,” one of the most pristine areas of Costa Brava – only accessible by sea. You’ll spend 90 minutes enjoying the best views.
After the boat trip, you’ll head to the medieval town of Pals. Located on top of a hill, it has a seventh-century tower that provides magnificent panoramic views of Costa Brava. You’ll have time to tour the Old Town and its cobbled streets at your leisure.
Finally, you’ll get back on the coach and head back to the center of Barcelona, arriving after a total of about eleven hours.
