Catalonia short break activity holidays, video guide and travel offers

Travelguru David Wickers says:

Catalonia has all the ingredients for a classic Spanish short break. It's only a 2 hour (low cost) flight to Girona, a delightful city in itself and within just a short drive you have glorious countryside with easy access to medieval towns and villages, wonderful, unspoilt beaches and a dramatic coastline.

The northern part of the Costa Brava is a world apart from the larger resorts further south. Mercifully undeveloped and characterised by pine clad coves and bays with small fishing villages that retain their sense of tradition, here you get a real sense of Spanish culture.

There’s also a great choice of hotels whether you are looking for chic, character properties or luxurious 5 star retreats and the food in this region is really exceptionally good.

Examples of Catalonia Short Breaks

Along the Catalan Coast

Hotel to hotel walking break

Discover the unspoiled fishing villages and beautiful sandy beaches of the Costa Brave behind which lie wooded hills. The waling is gentle and undemanding and, as the days are short, you have plenty of opportunities to relax on the beach or linger over a lunch of delicious seafood. Stay at two 3-star hotels renowned locally for their superb cuisine.

4 nights from £398 excluding flights to/from Girona

Catalan Coast

Hotel to hotel cycling break

The stretch of coastline, between Palamos and Begur, reveals hidden coves and sandy beaches where you can relax well away from the crowds. Inland, the Emporda Plain, south of the River Ter, is a beguiling patchword of medieval farms, ancient villages, fields of sunflowers and vineyards.

4 nights from £545 excluding flights to/from Girona

Hidden Valleys of the Garrotxa

Hotel to hotel cycling break

This corner of northern Catalonia is one of Spain's least-known and most varied regions, where you pedal among ancient stone villages, dotted between wheat fields and pine woods. This is cycling at its leisurely best, following disused railway lines on your way to the fascinating city of Girona.

4 nights from £545 excluding flights to/from Girona

All of the above breaks can be extended by adding extra nights in Girona.
