DAY 1 – ARRIVAL (D)
We depart the airport in Toulouse and travel south towards the Spanish border. Our destination is Catalonia, a region that was once independent and today still retains its distinctive culture and language. Our base will be the lakeside town of Banyoles.

DAY 2 – BESALU (BD)
Today we visit the medieval town of Besalu, dating back to the 10th century. Renowned for its great architectural value, the town’s buildings and the old bridge make up one of the most notable monumental legacies of the medieval period in Catalonia.

DAY 3 – GIRONA (BD)
The lovely city of Girona is our destination today. A medieval city built along the banks of the Onyar River, with narrow streets and wonderful historic buildings including the magnificent Gothic Cathedral. Walk along the ancient wall that runs around the edge of the old quarter, visit the Arab Baths or simply enjoy a coffee or a glass of wine in one of the many outdoor cafes.

DAY 4 – FIGUERES – SALVADOR DALI (BD)
We visit the small town of Figueres, the birthplace of the surrealist Salvador Dali and now home to the Dali Museum. The spectacular museum is the main attraction in the town and not to be missed. Later we take a drive to L’Escala, a lovely little unspoiled town on the coast.

DAY 5 – CADAQUES & COSTA BRAVA (BD)
Today we will take a scenic drive along the sparkling Costa Brava, one of the most beautiful areas in Catalonia. We will take time to stop in some of the most scenic places along this rocky coastline with its small inlet beaches and fishing villages with white-washed houses. A highlight will be a visit to the picturesque resort town of Cadaques where Dali had his home and workshop just a short distance from the town.

DAY 6 – DEPARTURE (B)
After breakfast your tour comes to an end and you will be transferred to the airport in Barcelona where we say our farewells.
