To the north of Barcelona: Costa Brava Tossa de Mar: A ‘blue paradise’, a great place for a relaxing day out. A small white village backing onto a curved bay that ends in a headland protected by medieval walls and towers, Tossa is a truly pleasant stop on the road north along the Costa Brava. In summer, glass-bottomed boats will take you to some enchanting little coves and beaches to the south and north of the main beach, Platja Gran.

From Barcelona there are a number of day-trips which are worth the effort. Less than one hour away, towards the interior, is the spectacular rocky outcrop of MONSERRAT with its historic abbey. Huge vertical slabs of rock rising abruptly out of the surrounding plain, Monserrat is like a mini mountain range and offers some good routes for walkers and climbers. On the mountain, there is a sanctuary dedicated to the Virgin of Montserrat, “the Moreneta”, the patron of Catalonia. There are also numerous caves, and you can visit some of them. Getting to Montserrat is also part of the fun, with a cable car and funicular railway to choose from. Where to eat in Montserrat: There are three restaurants in the Monastery complex where you can recover after an excursion and enjoy good food and views. One is self-service, another offers traditional Catalan food while the third is more upmarket.
