Spain

Catalunya’s Costa Brava is a majestic stretch of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline, which stretches from the France-Spain border, south towards Barcelona. Visitors love the region for its picturesque Medieval-era towns, beautiful rolling hills, and gorgeous beaches. The area is an easy hour and half drive from Barcelona’s international airport, making this location the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

During this itinerary, we will include three cultural excursions that we feel highlight the unique must-dos of the region. 

On your first full day in Costa Brava, we will spend time exploring the beautiful coastline, both directly below the retreat center, and on a walk on the nearby coast. We’ll get beautiful views from up high on cliffs, of the beautiful blue sea water. We’ll take our shoes off and cross soft, sandy beaches. We’ll end with some delicious Spanish tapas at a seaside cafe!

We will also spend a day visiting the cultural and historical city of Girona, where we will include an expertly guided tour of the old city, lunch at a delicious local restaurant and either more free time to explore Girona OR the option to add on a visit to the Salvador Dali Museum in nearby Figueres. 

The Costa Brava region is also famous for its medieval villages and local wineries. Included in our retreat is an afternoon touring the quaint, 11th century village of Pals, plus a visit to a local wine cellar, with educational tour, tasting and lite bites. 

Of course, we also leave ample free time to simply sit by the pool, read a book, get a massage, or visit another nearby medieval village or local beach.
