Spain · COSTA BRAVA SHORELINE ESCAPES
14 tours
Ninety minutes north of Barcelona the coastline turns to pine, cliff and small coves reachable only on foot. Below are the 14 best Costa Brava trips: the Tossa de Mar and Calella boat days, the coastal path walks, and the ones that fold in Girona or the Dalí museum at Figueres.

“It was great experience and guide was good too. Would recommend everyone to take this trip if in Barcelona.”
One day from Barcelona to Montserrat, Girona and Costa Brava with guides, Abbey access and sea coves for photo-heavy Catalonia.
“Great way to see the sights around Barcelona. The tour bus was comfortable, and we felt that we had adequate time at each of the stops. The only challenge we experienced is that Montserrat was set up as the last stop on the tour in the hopes of the best weather throughout, but we arrived at the top of the mountain to a massive thunderstorm, and a power outage limited availability of restrooms and facilities there - nothing the tour operator could have done just bad luck. Highly recommend.”

“Awesome experience! Shout out to Blondie - he was an awesome guide. We did quite a bit of kayaking at the beginning to go far out. Worked perfectly, do all the work before you tire out from the adventure. Enjoyed the snorkeling, saw some starfish, went in some caves and a few in our group held a jellyfish. Then it was time to turn up the adventure for cliff jumping! It was so much fun! If you’re on the fence, you won’t regret this experience m.”
