Our main office provides a convenient starting point, offering facilities and a chance to grab a coffee while soaking in the pre-tour excitement. The Palau, a concert hall inaugurated in 1908, sets the stage for a day filled with artistic and historical wonders.
Eixample District, Barcelona
Journey through the Eixample district, Barcelona's showcase of modern urban planning and home to many of Antoni Gaudí's iconic creations. As you leave the city, learn about Barcelona's rich history while passing notable landmarks like the Sagrada Familia and Casa Batlló. The Eixample's grid-like layout and distinctive architecture offer a glimpse into Barcelona's 19th-century expansion and innovative spirit.
Pont del Diable (Roman Aqueduct), Tarragona
Discover the awe-inspiring Pont del Diable, a remarkably preserved Roman aqueduct dating back to the 1st century BC. This UNESCO World Heritage site, also known as 'Les Ferreres' Aqueduct, once supplied water to the ancient city of Tarraco (now Tarragona). Walk across its impressive structure, standing on stones that have witnessed millennia of history, and marvel at the engineering prowess of the Roman Empire. The aqueduct is a stunning testament to Rome's influence on the Iberian Peninsula.
Tarragona Old Town
Step back in time as you enter Tarragona's Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site, through ancient Roman walls. Witness the captivating blend of Roman ruins and modern life as you explore the Archaeological Walkway, the medieval hospital, and the Cathedral, where a Sunday antique market adds local color. Wander through the Roman Forum and Circus, imagining the chariot races that once thrilled the crowds. Visit the Roman Amphitheater with its sea view, and imagine the gladiatorial contests once held there. Tarragona is a treasure trove of Roman history and culture.
Roc de Sant Gaieta
Pause at Roc de Sant Gaieta, a charming coastal village sculpted into the rocky shoreline. With its whitewashed houses and intimate atmosphere, Roc de Sant Gaieta evokes the ambiance of Ibiza's fishing villages, infused with Roman-Greco influences. Stroll through its narrow streets, admire the unique architecture, and let your imagination transport you to the idyllic shores of the Mediterranean.
Sitges
Conclude your journey in Sitges, a vibrant seaside town known for its beaches, boutiques, and artistic heritage. Once a quiet fishing village, Sitges has transformed into a cosmopolitan destination, attracting visitors with its Mediterranean charm. Explore its labyrinthine streets, relax on its sandy beaches, and dine in one of its many cafes and restaurants. Known for its annual film festival and LGBTQ+ friendly atmosphere, Sitges embodies the spirit of the Mediterranean coast.
Plaça Catalunya, Barcelona
Your tour concludes at Plaça Catalunya, the bustling heart of Barcelona and a central transportation hub. From here, you can easily access the metro or taxis to return to your hotel.
