More wonderful medieval villages await you on your Romantic Barcelona & Mediterranean Escape Tour today! After breakfast at your lovely Mediterranean retreat, you will leave to visit one of the best-preserved medieval villages in all of Spain. As you walk through the narrow village streets of Pals, next to the city walls, towers and churches, you will feel as though you have stepped back in time. The stone archways, cobblestone streets and wrought balconies adorned with flowers create a welcoming feel in this Romanesque village.
To continue, you will visit another and totally unspoiled Medieval hideaway, where you will have an opportunity to visit a tiny producer of local goats cheese. Just as the locals do, you will try some fresh goat cheese with honey and chat to the owner about how her famous Recuit is produced. To continue your Medieval morning, you will visit Peretallada and stroll along its cobbled streets – it is truly a very special village and one you will surely enjoy. Your medieval journey continues to another close (and of course medieval!) village, where you will enjoy a lunch of delicious local Catalan country fare with Emporda wine, in an excellent old-style farmhouse restaurant. After such a delicious lunch you may wish to embrace the concept of the Spanish siesta and return to your hotel.
Alternatively, may we suggest you treat yourself to an optional morning of sailing with our very own experienced skipper. Soak up the sun and the sea on this trip along the edge of the Costa Brava, truly a romantic Mediterranean escape! The rest of the day is free for you to do as you please, relax at your hotel or visit the coastal villages for a stroll along the promenade and coastal paths, or maybe visit the botanical Cap Roig Gardens. Later, in the early evening, why not take a drive to the lighthouse in Llafranc and enjoy a glass of wine on the terrace as you take in the magnificent views. We have many suggestions for dinner this evening whether a casual light bite overlooking the Mediterranean Sea or Michelin starred dining.
Tour in a nutshell: Guided tour of Spanish medieval villages. Regional lunch with wine. Optional sailing trip on the Costa Brava. Overnight in the Emporda countryside.
