Escape the hustle and bustle of Barcelona and while away a full day in one of the most exquisitely beautiful stretches of coastline in all of Europe—the Costa Brava. Stunning sights of rocky cliffs, mysterious coves, and golden beaches enchant you from every angle.

Take a ride up the coastal highway to Blanes, known as the Gateway to the Costa Brava. Arrive at one of the few remaining coves on the coast, off the beaten path from tourists and hidden from big commercial developments. You arrive early, before the crowds, letting you enjoy a secluded swim in the crystal-clear waters.

Choose between spending a few hours on the beach and visiting the botanical gardens nearby. The gardens are home to a variety of exotic plants, but it's the scenic views from high atop towering cliffs that make this a must-see stop. The turquoise-blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea stretch endlessly into the distance, while far beneath you waves crash against the wild coastline with explosions of white foam.

After getting your fill of views from the clifftops, a 3-course Mediterranean lunch awaits you in a local restaurant. The feast starts with a selection of traditional local dishes and a glass of Sangria, followed by a choice of main courses.

After lunch, take a short drive to Tossa de Mar, home of the last remaining preserved fortified town on the Costa Brava Coast. Walk along cobbled streets to a lighthouse with a backdrop of the Costa Brava coastline completing your view.
