The experience
What you will see
- The Blanes botanical garden, with exotic plants on the clifftop.
- A Costa Brava cove free from big developments.
- Tossa de Mar: the walled Vila Vella, the lighthouse and its narrow lanes.
How it works
You leave Barcelona in the morning by coach towards Blanes. At the first stop you choose between staying at the cove to swim or visiting the botanical garden. Then you have lunch in a family restaurant with a drink and continue to Tossa de Mar, where you walk up to the lighthouse with the guide and get a couple of free hours before heading back.
