The traditional town of Malgrat de Mar is still very Spanish in every sense, with its cobbled streets, quaint shops and local market. Join us as we explore this popular resort and the scenic Costa Brava, with a stay at the wonderful Monteplaya Hotel, which has provided excellent hospitality for over 30 years! From here, we’ll soak up the sights and scenery of charming Barcelona, visit a traditional local market in Blanes, and have the chance to discover Besalu and Girona.

We arrive in Malgrat de Mar late morning and have time to settle into our hotel for our first night in resort.
The Catalan capital, Barcelona, is a fantastic city to explore at leisure, with its wonderful architecture and bustling atmosphere.
Admire Antoni Gaudi’s incredible Modernist creations, including the as-yet-unfinished Sagrada Familia, and spend time shopping along the famous Las Ramblas boulevard. This mesmerising city is known for its excellent attractions as much for its delicious cuisine, so be sure to sample some of the local food during our time here.
Join our optional excursion to Besalu, which was an important town during the Middle Ages, with its territory extending as far as France and being designated a historic national property by the Spanish government in 1966.
The town is particularly famous for its 12th century bridge over the Fluvia River. It is a great place to wander through history with a number of buildings dating back almost 1000 years, still laid out in their original street configuration.

We make our way to a fantastic local market to enjoy a wide variety of local specialities, available to sample and buy. With everything from freshly caught seafood to delicious fresh fruits and expertly crafted olive oils, we'll have a wonderful time at this traditional Spanish market.
Girona is one of Catalonia’s major cities, and our trip here will be spent at leisure, so we can discover this excellent location to our hearts' content.
With lots of sights to enjoy, we’re sure to be kept busy during our visit! There are the ancient city walls and towers which mark the entrance to Girona’s Old Town, plus Girona Cathedral, dating from 1015. This cathedral is home to the world’s widest Gothic nave, although it isn’t the only prominent religious building in Girona – there’s also the Sant Pere de Galligants church, and the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu.

Perfect holiday for me and my daughter this year. Our coach family were amazing, the hotel beautiful, the sea a short walk away, but took a lot to get me out that pool.

Lovely drivers, lovely hotel. Nice food. Really bad return hotel at Charles de Gaulle airport. Disgusting rooms, and inedible breakfast. The drivers went above and beyond. All in all very enjoyable

The hotel was great, the area too. The journey not so much.no working WiFi connection on a very tired coach. Unnecessary overnight stops losing us a day's holiday. Refusal to take us to one of the outings and difficulty in getting the drivers to take us to one other. When I phoned to complain I was told I would be called back by a more senior member of staff. This did not happen. In view of all this and the Italy disaster I won't travel with you again

Hotel. Spotlessly clean with good quality modern fittings in both room and en suite. Food exceptionally good and plentiful. All staff friendly and. efficient. Why I only gave four stars for value is the extra £21.50 per night charged for the single room supplement.
