Two hours north of Barcelona, the Costa Brava is fishing villages, pine-covered cliffs and stone towns that have watched the sea for centuries. This day brings both together, at your pace.

Your private driver collects you from your hotel. We begin in Calella de Palafrugell, its whitewashed houses and arched porches facing small beaches, then sit down to a long lunch at a beachfront restaurant. In the afternoon we head to the medieval lanes of Pals and on to Begur, with its historic centre — and, if you wish, a swim at Sa Tuna. The day stays fluid, so timings and stops adapt to you.

Frequently asked questions

Can the Costa Brava be done as a day trip from Barcelona?

Yes. It is about two hours each way by car; with a private driver the journey is comfortable and the day stays relaxed. For a slower pace, we suggest one or two nights on the coast.

Can we add a swim or a boat ride?

Yes. From May to October we can add a swim stop or combine the day with a private boat along the coves.
