Overview

The essence of northern Catalonia in a compact one-week itinerary taking in the best of the Catalan Pyrenees, the Volcanic Park of La Garrotxa and the Costa Brava.

Tour Highlights
  • 3000m mountains of the Catalan Pyrenees

  • Hiking in the spectacular Aigüestortes National Park

  • Romanesque churches in Vall de Boí and Val d'Aran

  • Unique cultures & architectural styles

  • La Garrotxa Volcanic Park

In the high mountains of the north-west you can trek in the highly accessible National Park of Aiguestortes i Sant Maurici, see the glacier of Aneto and explore the picture-postcard villages with their World Heritage Romanesque churches.

In La Garrotxa visit medieval Santa Pau and Besalú, take a balloon ride over the volcanoes and sample the Cuina Volcanica – local ingredients grown in volcanic soil and visit Figueres, home of the unmissable, unique Dalí museum.

And – for the grand finale – walk the Cami de Ronda or simply soak in the sun and the views by the crystal clear waters of the Costa Brava.

Fly into Girona or Barcelona from most UK airports. The standard tour takes 7 nights minimum but there’s so much to see and you do may want more…
