Travel south to arrive on the Costa del Maresme for a five-night stay at Hotel Volga.
After a leisurely breakfast, join our included excursion along the Costa Brava. Visit the typical Catalonian coastal town of Tossa de Mar, where you have free time to explore the narrow, cobbled streets and medieval walls. We continue to Lloret de Mar, the busiest and liveliest resort on the Costa Brava during the main season. The resort was once a sea trading and ship building town, but is now popular with holidaymakers and houses a wide choice of restaurants and plenty of shops.
Enjoy a fascinating visit to Montserrat, known locally as the ‘serrated mountain’. Travelling through the mountains, we head to the north of Barcelona to reach the site of the famous Benedictine monastery. In 1025, the Abbot of Ripoli and Bishop of Vic officially founded the Monastery of Montserrat, and during the 12th and 13th centuries a Romanesque church was built. Over this period pilgrims began to come to Montserrat.
Merry Christmas! Relax and celebrate Christmas in resort. Christmas Day lunch with wine and cava is included and some Christmas entertainment. Then, this evening, you can enjoy dinner in the hotel.
Today our included excursion takes us to beautiful Barcelona, Spain’s second largest city and one of the Mediterranean’s busiest ports. The city has a delightfully relaxed atmosphere, particularly along the Ramblas, where you can join the locals casually strolling along the tree-lined walkway, perhaps stopping to enjoy the entertainment offered by the many mime-artists and musicians. Barcelona boasts many awe-inspiring buildings designed during the artistic explosion of Modernism – be sure to see the extraordinary Sagrada Familia, a very unconventional church which is still under construction.
