Things to do in Costa Brava, Catalonia: The Best Multi-day Tours

May 6, 2022 Jana Sager

Whether you're looking for sandy beaches, rocky coves, tranquil villages or mountain scenery, Spain's Costa Brava has something to offer you. Situated in the north-east of the country overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Costa Brava region enjoys hot summers and mild winters, making it an all-year-round holiday destination. There are plenty of opportunities in the Costa Brava to play golf, tennis or football, as well as to take part in water sports. The Sant Daniel Valley on the western side of the Gavarres hills has mountain biking and trekking paths with stunning views. If you are looking for a cultural activity, the Archaeological Museum in Banyoles is housed in a Gothic palace and has displays of paleontology and pottery as well as archaeology. Modern art lovers must not miss the Theatre Museum in Figueres which has a collection of Salvador Dali's paintings. At the end of the day, if you still have some energy, there is no shortage of nightlife in towns such as Lloret de Mar.

This was a first for us (my husband and our good friend) and we weren't sure what to expect. After doing some google research we narrowed it down to a couple of companies. Creative Catalonia was responsive and Daniel provided excellent service--answering all kinds of questions promptly making us feel much more relaxed about what we might expect when we arrived. The difference-maker was being able to adjust some of the rides to work for our small group. It was 6 days/7 nights and we really couldn't have asked for a better first experience. The only suggestion I would have is that when they tell you there are no restaurants open in Spain in mid-afternoon/early evening, they mean it! A few times we arrived at our destination hungry and out of luck until 7 or 8pm at night. After a long days ride, that made for a few very hungry afternoons!

There are so many things to do on a sailboat: from learning to sail, trim the sails, choose the course and sailing into the wind to anchor away from a beautiful Cove, enjoy a refreshing swim, sunbathe or serve you an aperitif that you most want. Afternoon, return to the selected Marina and after a refreshing shower comes the night life in port. After night life, rest in your cabin and back to start in an intense new life.

Took a day to explore the beach of Barcelona and decided to do a boat trip with a friend. We found Barcodealquiler when walking by and took a chance with all the different companies available. Both Oscar and Ramon were great to work with. Ramon took us sailing for two hours and was very accommodating for our tour needs. Would highly recommend!
