Join us as we explore this popular resort and the scenic Costa Brava, with a stay at the wonderful Monteplaya Hotel, which has provided excellent hospitality for over 30 years! From here, we’ll soak up the sights and scenery of charming Barcelona, visit a traditional local market in Blanes, and have the chance to discover Besalu and Girona.

We arrive in Malgrat de Mar late morning and have time to settle into our hotel for our first night in resort.
We make our way to a fantastic local market to enjoy a wide variety of local specialities, available to sample and buy. With everything from freshly caught seafood to delicious fresh fruits and expertly crafted olive oils, we'll have a wonderful time at this traditional Spanish market.
The Catalan capital, Barcelona, is a fantastic city to explore at leisure, with its wonderful architecture and bustling atmosphere.
Admire Antoni Gaudi’s incredible Modernist creations, including the as-yet-unfinished Sagrada Familia, and spend time shopping along the famous Las Ramblas boulevard. This mesmerising city is known for its excellent attractions as much for its delicious cuisine, so be sure to sample some of the local food during our time here.

Join our optional excursion to Besalu, which was an important town during the Middle Ages, with its territory extending as far as France and being designated a historic national property by the Spanish government in 1966.
The town is particularly famous for its 12th-century bridge over the Fluvia River. It is a great place to wander through history with a number of buildings dating back almost 1,000 years, still laid out in their original street configuration.

Spend the day at leisure in the wonderful Malgrat de Mar.
Girona is one of Catalonia’s major cities, and our optional trip here will be spent at leisure, so we can discover this excellent location to our hearts' content.
With lots of sights to enjoy, we’re sure to be kept busy during our visit! There are the ancient city walls and towers which mark the entrance to Girona’s Old Town, plus Girona Cathedral, dating from 1015. This cathedral is home to the world’s widest Gothic nave, although it isn’t the only prominent religious building in Girona – there’s also the Sant Pere de Galligants church, and the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu.
