About this tour
A 10.5-hour private tour combining the Costa Brava coastline with a medieval town inland from Barcelona. Travel through three distinct bays by car, stopping at secluded coves and villages that showcase Catalonia's rugged shoreline and architectural heritage. Your own driver navigates whilst you explore hidden beaches, sample local character, and absorb the region's contrasting landscapes—from sea cliffs to stone-built settlements. Lunch is on you; everything else, including transport and beach kit, is sorted.

What to expect
You'll spend the morning driving along the Costa Brava's rockier stretches, stopping at three bays to swim or wade in clear water. Each stop reveals different topography: one might be a tiny pebble beach wedged between cliffs, another a wider sandy bay. Midday or early afternoon, you'll head inland to explore a medieval town—narrow streets, local shops, perhaps a church or castle ruin. Your driver knows where to eat well without tourist markup. The afternoon circles back toward Barcelona, with time for one last coastal pause if you wish. It's a sensible mix of seaside and substance, paced to suit your energy.
Good to know
Wear swimwear under your clothes for easy changes at the beaches. Bring a hat and sun protection beyond what's provided. The route involves roughly 2–3 hours of driving split across the day. Book lunch ahead in the medieval town or ask your driver for recommendations. Roads can wind; if you're prone to travel sickness, take precautions.
