Overview
On this tour we are going to visit the Girona coast, christened 100 years ago as the Costa Brava. The name is due to its unique rocky, rugged and cut shape coastline, composed of small coves surrounded by pine forests and lapped by crystal water. In addition to the characteristic relief of its coast, the Costa Brava is also famous for its lovely towns. They were formerly small fishermen towns, full of houses with white-washed walls as well as medieval towns with stone buildings and narrow streets; to this day, they still retain their unique charm. Throughout the day, we will reveal the most representative and emblematic towns of unparalleled beauty on the Costa Brava. As we explore these towns, we will also discover their diverse landscapes and contrasts. Their world acclaimed beaches will take your breath away.

About 11:15am, we will start walking along Camino de Ronda, which is going to lead us to the neighborhood town of Llafranc. We will hike about 30 minutes, suitable for all ages, easy terrain for everyone. The “Camino de Ronda” borders all the Costa Brava and was used to control the maritime smuggling. Today, thanks to this, you can discover beautiful spots that wouldn’t be otherwise accessible. Llafranc is also a small, elegant and captivating seaside town, with all the delightfulness of the towns on this coast. You will have free time for lunch and taste the typical fishermen’s cuisine of this area. If you wish, you may also go for a swim in the Mediterranean Sea at its splendid beach.

Our next visit will be Begur, a town with elegant mansions located beneath an old castle and famous for its “Indian Houses”. The so-called “Indians” were the town’s inhabitants who immigrated to America in the 18th century; they made a fortune and upon their retirement, they returned and built these elegant mansions. As you stroll along its streets, you will discover this uniquely beautiful architecture which features a unique blend of Mediterranean and Caribbean styles.

Peratallada, declared a Historical-Artistic Site and Cultural Asset of National Interest, is one of the most outstanding examples of the country’s medieval architecture. You will be amazed by its peculiar location on top of a rock, as well as the spectacular moat excavated inside it, which surrounds the town. Upon arrival, we will take a stroll through its narrow winding streets, discover its original castle-palace, its exceptional fortification system and its stone houses whose streets have been virtually unchanged by the passage of time.
