Full description
Explore the secret beaches of the Costa Brava on a full-day sightseeing tour from Barcelona, and discover a landscape of rugged cliffs, crystalline water, and soft white sand.
Traveling by luxury mini-coach, drive to the village of Palamós. Wander around streets lined with whitewashed houses, kayak to find magical caves, or take a guided walk through the pine forests of the rocky coast. You will be following the historic “Camí de Ronda” footpath.
Continue to the little fisherman village in Cala S'Alguer, where the houses tumble down to the seafront. Then uncover the hidden Dali's hut, where he used to rest with Gala and visit the Iberian settle. Your guide will provide a running commentary about the customs and traditions of the local fishermen, including their “havaneres” songs.
Go to dine on paella in one of the old restaurants of the voltes (archways). After lunch, drive to Palamós to watch the fishing boats dock and unload their catch of the day. Soak up the energy of the busy wharf and fish market, before driving back to Barcelona.
