Afternoon, we will depart for Costa Brava!
Included weekend trip to Costa Brava!
According to Lonely Planet (and our LeadAbroad team of course),
“Stretching north from Barcelona to the Spanish–French border, the Costa Brava (‘rugged coast’) is undoubtedly the most beautiful of Spain’s three main holiday coasts. Though there’s plenty of tourism development, this wonderfully scenic region of Catalonia also unveils unspoiled coves, spectacular seascapes, wind-battered headlands, coast-hugging hiking paths, charming seaside towns with outstanding restaurants, and some of Spain’s finest diving around the protected Illes Medes.”
Costa Brava is consistently one of the most beautiful and go-to stop for Barcelona residents and Spanish visitors alike! We will give your a more detailed breakdown of included activities, meals and packing list during orientation.
