Uncover the beauty of Catalonia on this small-group day trip from Barcelona with a traditional paella lunch included.

Then continue to the Costa Brava and explore Calella de Palafrugell, a whitewashed fishing town framed by rocky coves and crystal-clear waters. Enjoy a relaxing walk or a swim before sitting down for a delicious seafood paella lunch at a beachfront restaurant. In the afternoon, explore the historic city of Girona at your own pace — visit the Gothic Cathedral, stroll along the Roman walls, or browse the Jewish Quarter.
