With its own language, unique local customs and distinct culinary heritage, luxury Catalonia holidays are very different to holidays anywhere else in Spain. To the north, hiking trails weave their way between the valleys of the Pyrenees, the sun shimmers on the pristine beaches of the Costa Brava and Girona impresses with its many Michelin-starred eateries. In the south, history comes alive through the Romanesque art, medieval monasteries and Roman ruins of Tarragona. While at Catalonia’s heart, Barcelona beckons with ancient temples and the whimsical creations of Gaudi.

Catalonia as part of a Spain holiday
One of the best ways to experience a luxury holiday to Catalonia is to embark on a luxury self-drive holiday from Barcelona to Girona and the Costa Brava. During your three-night stay in Barcelona, marvel at its iconic architecture, discover the origins of the city’s chocolate culture, visit the spectacular L’Aquàrium and enjoy a thrilling flamenco show. Then it’s time to pick up your car and begin your journey along the picturesque Costa Brava. On arrival in Girona, embark on a privately guided tour of the historic city before heading to your luxury resort where you can enjoy a round of golf on one of its world-class courses. Whilst in Girona, visit the Dalí Theatre-Museum and Salvador Dali House Museum in the town of Figueres. Round off your trip by taking your family to one of Costa Brava’s brilliant beaches in the fishing village of Cadaques.
