Highlights
  • Lloret de Mar - We will take the motorway and after 1h15m we will be at Lloret de Mar, the main touristic village of Costa Brava.

We will have about one hour to explore this colorful and dynamic village with strong personality.

Along its unique beach promenade we will be able to enjoy great views of its beaches.

Walking through its narrow streets, which still have reminiscence of its recent maritime past, we will find plenty of shops to suit all tastes: from the latest brands to the typical beach bazaars.

In the middle of its most famous shopping street we will also be able to admire architectural jewels of great value such as Saint Roma church.

At approximately 11:30am we will go on board DOFIJETS, which will lead us to the neighboring village of Tossa de Mar. During the sailing trip we will be able to enjoy the unique and characteristic landscape of Costa Brava: a procession of different huge cliffs which have been shaped in fanciful forms over the centuries by the strength of sea and wind.

  • Tossa de Mar - At about 12:15 pm we will get to the emblematic village of Tossa de Mar, considered \

Additional Information

On this journey, we’ll be exploring the picturesque Girona coast, known for a century as the Costa Brava. Its name stems from the distinctive rocky, jagged and indented shoreline peppered with quaint coves nestled among pine woods and bathed in pristine water.

Costa Brava also owes its reputation to its charming villages. These former fishing towns, with their whitewashed walls and winding narrow streets, still hold onto their allure today.

We’ll uncover the southern portion of the Costa Brava by visiting two villages that encapsulate the spirit of this coastline. These two are contrasting yet complementary to each other, and by the time we return to Barcelona after a few hours, we’ll have a comprehensive understanding of the true essence of Costa Brava.

Wonderful Views, Hikes, and Stories! - Monica was excellent, just as all the other reviews said. Interesting Marathon on the trip out. The first stop had lots of great hikes and restaurants, in case you didn't get breakfast. No food or drinks, besides water, on the bus. We took the short hike and paid 3 euros to go to the top of the Castle - that was all we had time for. The boat ride provided beautiful views of the coast and we got to see a few fish under the glass bottom. Bumpy but fun. Monica led us on a tour of the old town, at the next stop. So many great "behind the scenes" stories you'd never hear elsewhere and gave excellent restaurant recommendations. Be sure to know the end point meet up, there was more than one Catalan flag, fortunately we ran into Monica and she directed us to the right one!

Great Day - This was a great trip. We enjoyed it very much. The weather was gorgeous and we were able to spend some time on the beach followed by lunch and shopping at the second stop. My only regret is that it was too short!
