A guide leads the morning exploration before leaving you free to swim, eat and wander the waterfront in the afternoon. Return to Barcelona around 4pm.

What to expect
You'll depart Barcelona in a comfortable seven-seat van at 8:30am. The first hour takes you to Girona where you'll grab breakfast and wander the old town's narrow lanes with your guide. By late morning you're driving again, crossing into France near the coast. Collioure appears suddenly—a working village of just 2,000 people with colourful boats, rocky beaches and a castle backdrop. After a brief guided walk, you're left to your own devices for three hours: swim, eat at a harbourside restaurant, or simply sit with a coffee watching fishermen. The return journey to Barcelona begins around 4pm.
Good to know
Bring your passport or ID—police controls happen. Summer visits mean pack swimwear and a towel. The van is air-conditioned and can accommodate prams. Meals and gratuities aren't included.
