Overview

On this tour we are going to visit the Girona coast, christened 100 years ago as the Costa Brava. The name is due to its unique rocky, rugged and cut shape coastline, composed of small coves surrounded by pine forests and lapped by crystal water.

The fame of Costa Brava is also due to its villages. Small fisherman towns, with whitewashed walls and narrow winding streets, today still retain their charm.

We will discover the southern part of the Costa Brava visiting two villages that represent the essence of that coast. They are opposed to each other but, at the same time, complementary, and after few hours after leaving Barcelona, we will go back with a complete idea of what Costa Brava is.

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Lloret de Mar, Lloret de Mar, Costa Brava, Province of Girona, Catalonia

We will take the motorway and after 1h15m we will be at Lloret de Mar, the main touristic village of Costa Brava.

We will have about one hour to explore this colorful and dynamic village with strong personality.

Along its unique beach promenade we will be able to enjoy great views of its beaches.

Walking through its narrow streets, which still have reminiscence of its recent maritime past, we will find plenty of shops to suit all tastes: from the latest brands to the typical beach bazaars.

In the middle of its most famous shopping street we will also be able to admire architectural jewels of great value such as Saint Roma church.

At approximately 11:30am we will go on board DOFIJETS, which will lead us to the neighboring village of Tossa de Mar. During the sailing trip we will be able to enjoy the unique and characteristic landscape of Costa Brava: a procession of different huge cliffs which have been shaped in fanciful forms over the centuries by the strength of sea and wind.

Duration: 3 hours

Stop At: Tossa de Mar, Tossa de Mar, Costa Brava, Province of Girona, Catalonia

At about 12:15 pm we will get to the emblematic village of Tossa de Mar, considered “the pearl of Costa Brava” because in this small area we can find all those landscape and historic elements which have given it such well-deserved fame.
History has left his footprints, from the Romans to its emblematic fortified Vila Vella or Old Town of Tossa, which was listed as an artistic-historic monument in 1931.
Once we arrive in Tossa de Mar, we will begin a walking tour from the beach, following the fortified perimeter up to the lighthouse on the top, for those who are interested. Over there, you will appreciate stunning views from the coastline. When descending, we will go through the narrow streets and stony houses of Vila Vella until we get to the fishing district. From there on, you will have free time to have lunch. This village has the greatest gastronomic offer from all Costa Brava.
At 4:00pm the tour will be finished and we will go back to Barcelona by bus. Arrival at 5:30 pm.

Last summer was the second time I have done this tour. Amazing! Even better on that time. Never get tired to visit this area: beautiful sceneries, old towns, clear beaches, unforgettable! Operator very professional, well organized. Don’t miss it!

This day trip was one of the highlights of our trip. Easy transportation to the coast. Absolutely beautiful views everywhere. And the water - so gorgeous, so clear and blue. Our guide was very informative and gave a fabulous tour. She was also very helpful when we asked for lunch suggestions. This should be one of the tours you book.

I give this tour a 5 star!! This was such a wonderful trip. We did our tour with Joseph in Spanish and even though we know English we wanted the full “Spaniard” experience! the first part of our trip was to Lloret Del Mar, throughout the ride to this wonderful beach town we were listening to all the fun tour facts about the area we we were in. We were given the freedom of roaming the streets and everything was properly communicated as to when we would be meeting to depart to the next part of the tour! Tossa Del Mar was by far the best place on the tour and is highly recommended! Such a beautiful beach town! Great food and vibe! Overall I was so happy with the tour and guides and so happy I chose this company.

We very much enjoyed our day on the Costa Brava coast line, (nicknamed the "Brave Coast" due to it's rocky natured cliffs and winds). This tour is very casual (with company, Barcelona Holidays), mainly providing transportation from the bus station in Barcelona to the first stop: We visited 2 small towns, the first Lloret, and the second Tossa De Mar. During the drive, the guide Monica offered some information over the speaker on the charter bus. We stayed a short time (about ~90 minutes) at the first stop with free time to explore the absolutely gorgeous views of the rocky coast line of the Mediterranean, then walking along the shops until we found a small 15th century church. Our guide, Marta, gave us a meeting point and a time to return for our group to then gather and proceed to catch the boat ride to the 2nd stop. Boat ride was gorgeous with views of expensive homes on the cliffsides, but a bit rocky on this windy day, so highly suggest your anti-nausea meds. We stopped midway to feed fish and see them on the glass bottom boat. At the 2nd stop, Tossa De Mar, we again were given the option to have our own free time for about ~3 hours to visit shops, restaurants, beach, and castle, or to go with the guide for a brief 45 minute walking tour of the castle. We opted to go have lunch and explore on our own and again were provided a meeting point and time to return. The beach here is great for going swimming or even a shallow area near the castle to just wade ankle/knee deep water to experience the Mediterranean sea. I would suggest bringing a towel with you if you do want to go swimming as we were a little chilly after getting out of the water without towels. Definitely wear your swimsuit so you can take full advantage though! And I'd also suggest sunscreen. The bus ride back into town was quiet to allow all the guests to rest. We were back promptly by 530pm. They are very punctual and assume you have departed the tour to find our own independent transportation if you don't meet them at the designated times- so be sure to be on time- but otherwise you won't have a problem. Great trip for large groups as the bus carries approx 50 people. Family friendly. Not super structured to allow for freedom of exploration as you desire.
