What's this trip about?

Escape to the northeast coast of Spain and experience the artsy bustle of Barcelona, the mountainous countryside of Montserrat, and the crystal clear beaches of Costa Brava. This unique vacation package takes you on a ride through some of Spain's most magnificent highlights - from its architecturally-rich cities to its beautiful outskirts.  Start your journey in the vibrant, culture-packed city of Barcelona. Hop around from one of Antoni Gaudi's architectural masterpieces to the next. See the extraordinary Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Mila, and more! Stroll through La Rambla, the Gothic Quarter, and La Boqueria and experience traditional Spanish shops, markets, cafes, and street performances.  Next, head to mountainous Montserrat. Although the drive is fairly short, you'll feel like you've entered another world. Hike to sky-high peaks and gaze out at once-in-a-lifetime views. For a more comfortable experience, ride to the peak of Montserrat on a cable car and snap tons of photos along the way! Be sure to snap a shot of the sun setting over the mountains - now that's a way to make your friends at home jealous. Finally, drive to the land of peace and paradise: Costa Brava. Relax on the white sand beaches and feel your eyes widen as you stare out into the bright blue-green ocean. Watch as the water  twirls and swirls around gorgeous rock formations, breathe in the salty sea air, and hear the faint sounds of gulls squawking and waves crashing. Embark on gorgeous nature walks and treat yourself to authentic cuisine at local seaside restaurants.
