PACKAGED ITINERARY

Day 2 Roses Driver’s Day Off
We spend our day relaxing and getting our bearings in lovely Roses. We can make use of the excellent leisure facilities at our hotel, sunbathe on some of the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava, or we can explore the lovely old town of Roses.
Day 3 Cruise to Cadaqués
This morning, we embark on a relaxing one-way cruise from Roses to Cadaqués. Upon arrival we enjoy an afternoon at leisure, exploring Cadaqués’ maze of pretty, narrow streets that tumble down to the water, and stylish art galleries that mingle with the souvenir shops, cafés and seafood restaurants.
Day 4 Pals & Girona
Today we travel south to the picturesque medieval village of Pals rich in history, beautiful architecture and breathtaking views for free time to explore. Afterwards, we visit the historic city of Girona for a guided walking tour, then time to explore at leisure. The beautiful Roman walled old quarter, Força Vella, is dominated by the 11th century Cathedral tower and its baroque facade. Its Gothic nave is the largest of its kind in the world! Located within the Força Vella is the Jewish Quarter (or ‘Call’), one of the city’s most remarkable areas. A labyrinth of narrow medieval streets and passageways makes this area one of the most picturesque in Catalonia.

Today is spent at leisure in Roses. We may wish to make further use of our hotel’s lovely leisure facilities or make the most of our beautiful beachfront setting with a day well spent relaxing and sunning ourselves.
