We will start early, at 6.30 am, heading towards the fabulous Costa Brava. A photogenic image will be retained in our pupils when we arrive at the Sant Sebastià Lighthouse. Upon arrival, we will tell you about this iconic 19th century building with more than 160 meters. From this height you will have one of the best panoramic views of the Costa Brava. In winter, we will have a perfect sunrise.

90 min

Nearby, we will make a stop in the town of PALS, one of the most romantic towns on the Costa Brava. With 1000 years of history, in Pals we will visit moats, walls, Romanesque towers and cobbled streets that make this town one of the most visited.

We will continue on our way to VIC, the regional capital, and a historical-industrial center of Catalonia. We go through the medieval center of the city, from the Placa Major, the most attractive urban enclave of the medieval nucleus, to the Palau dels Montcada and the ruins of an ancient Roman temple from the 2nd century AD. In this area we can see Gothic-style buildings such as Casa Beuló or more modern styles such as Casa Tolosa. VIC has one of the most prestigious museums of episcopal art in the world, only comparable to the Vatican museum in Rome. At VIC, we will carry out a gastronomic tasting of local products from the area, such as sausages and cheeses.

120 min

In the middle of the afternoon, we will leave for our last visit of the day, the MONTSERRAT basilica. The base is located in the Natural Park of the same name, with its very peculiar peaks, which protects the spiritual essence of Catalonia. For almost 1000 years, a Benedictine community has lived in these mountains. A magical, spiritual and cultural visit to end this magnificent day in Catalonia. Along the way, hear some interesting stories about Catalonia and its link to the sacred mountain, the scene of pilgrims since ancient times and part of the route to Santiago de Compostela. Your guide will share important information to understand the heritage that you will discover during the tour
