Your Itinerary

Calella de Palafrugell

We will take the motorway and about 10:15am we are going to arrive in Calella de Palafrugell, a small fisherman’s village that still retains today the traditional appearance of the past. It is a village of great beauty in both architecture and landscape. The town, splashed with small bays, becomes a fusion of land and sea that is an incomparable setting. We will have free time to explore the village, enjoy the scenery and for sure, take great photographs.

Camino de Ronda

About 11:15am, we will start walking along Camino de Ronda, which is going to lead us to the neighborhood town of Llafranc. We will hike about 30 minutes, suitable for all ages, easy terrain for everyone. The “Camino de Ronda” borders all the Costa Brava and was used to control the maritime smuggling. Today, thanks to this, you can discover beautiful spots that wouldn’t be otherwise accessible. Llafranc is also a small, elegant and captivating seaside town, with all the delightfulness of the towns on this coast.

L'Estartit

Our next visit is to l’Estartit, seaside village with an important port famous worldwide as being an important diving center because the Medes Islands archipelago lies only one kilometer from the coast. Medes islands are of great interest for the wide variety of flora and fauna that inhabit in the whole marine area. It was declared as a National Natural Park and ZEPIM. (Special protected area of importance in the Mediterranean)You will have free time to have lunch and take a small stroll around town and at 15:00pm we will get on board Nautilus boat. The sailing is about 1h30. First, we will go ahead to the outer islands, the views are spectacular! The itinerary continues to the stunning cliffs of Sierra de Montgrí only accessible by boat and one of the most preserved, unspoiled areas of Costa Brava.

Village Medieval de Pals

In the afternoon, we will travel to Pals, a town located inland and on the top of a hill. The village is built entirely in an integrated medieval site. At the top there is a cylindrical tower from the XII century, which is visible from far away. It has an excellent terrace that offers stunning views of the Costa Brava and surroundings.

This was an outstanding trip that offered a great variety of experiences of Costa Brava all in one day. We highly recomend it. Our guide Monica was exceptional with her commentary on the area. She had extensive knowledge while at the same time didn't overload us with too much detail. Great value for money.

This was an Amazing experience!!! Loved everything about it! All 3 Stops were breathtaking. Our tour guide LUIS was GREAT - he was very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, respectful and charismatic - I can’t say enough. Thanks Luis 😊 Muchísimas Gracias!!!! And the best part was that when we arrived at our last stop to have lunch - Luis made sure that our table at the restaurant was ready for us and this was ocean side view. The staff at the restaurant was courteous, friendly and fast. Luis made sure that our meals came out before anyone else’s - amazing experience. The food was DELICIOUS and FRESH!!! Once again - Thank you Luis! You’re the BEST!!!!! 😊

This is an excellent full day tour of the Costa Brava plus a stop at a Medieval village dating from the 12th century. The tour is both informative and fully packed. A tour of the Greek and Roman ruins of Empurres was extremely informative and would be of interest to any student of history. A particular shout out of Jorge, our guide, who not only provided excellent commentary but spent time one on one with each member of our tour group. Again, and excellent introduction to the beautiful Costa Brava!

I highly recommend this tour. It was a full day of beautiful sights and lots to do. We had a wonderful guide who kept us informed and entertained. Thank you, Jorge!

Excellent day tour - it was a terrific way to see a variety of Costa Brava sights all in a single day which we would have been hard pressed to do in our own. The weather was perfect that day and our guide, Jorge, was quite informative as well as being fun and upbeat. Wonderful short hike on the coast between villages to start the day with ample photo opportunities and I especially enjoyed the Greek and Roman ruins at Emporia at the end of the day. All in all, well worth it.

This was a fantastic tour of Costa Brava . A day of contrasting sites with very friendly tour guides coast line on a large coach that was full. Highlights were visit to coastal beaches, visit to Medieval city, tour of boat that had glass view6ing of sea bed and visit to ancient Greek and Roman ruins. Tour guides were very friendly, informative. Pace of the tour was good as it did not feel rushed. Tour siited more for people who want to sight see rather than doing adventure activities such as kayaking,diving or snockling.Overal we had a wonderful day out. Highly recommend this tour.
