    The journey begins in Montserrat, the iconic mountain range that is home to the Benedictine monastery and the revered Black Madonna—La Moreneta, one of Catalonia’s most venerated figures. Take in breathtaking views of the one-of-a-kind, needle-shaped mountains, enjoy spiritual calm, and a guided visit through the basilica, including the chance to see the Black Madonna up close, as well as the cloister and main square.

    Girona

    Continue to Girona, a medieval jewel where time seems to stand still. With its Roman walls, Gothic cathedral, and labyrinthine Jewish quarter, the city has been a cultural crossroads for centuries. Upon arrival, enjoy a guided walking tour through its most emblematic sites: the old Jewish quarter, the cathedral, the Eiffel bridge, and the medieval city walls. But instead of rushing through, you’ll stay the night—because Girona after dark is truly special. As day visitors leave, the city transforms: locals fill the terraces, the Onyar River glows under warm streetlights, and the air is filled with history, music, and the aromas of Catalan cuisine. You’ll spend the night in an exceptional boutique hotel, handpicked for its charm, comfort, and ideal location in the heart of the Old Town. In the evening, enjoy free time to wander Girona’s cobbled streets, sip a drink in Plaça de la Independència, dine on local cuisine, or climb the ancient walls under the moonlight.

    On day two, after a relaxed breakfast at your hotel, you’ll have the morning to enjoy Girona at your own pace. Dive deeper into its charm—visit the Jewish History Museum, browse artisan shops, or enjoy a classic vermut in one of the hidden squares of the Old Town. Mornings in Girona are calm and luminous, perfect for strolling without rush, discovering local gems, or savoring a slow coffee in Plaça del Vi or Plaça de la Independència as the city gently comes to life. You’ll also have time to enjoy lunch in one of Girona’s excellent local restaurants, where Catalan cuisine blends tradition with creativity.

    Tossa de Mar

    Around mid-afternoon, your journey continues to the Costa Brava, where you’ll discover Tossa de Mar, one of its most enchanting seaside towns. Walk along the medieval castle walls—the only ones by the sea in Catalonia—offering stunning views over the bay. Swim in turquoise coves, browse artisan boutiques, or simply unwind on the golden sands of Platja Gran. Tossa is more than just a beach town—it captures the essence of the Costa Brava: wild coastline, Mediterranean charm, and timeless beauty.
