Gastronomic Catalonia - Fine food & wine, art & architecture
- Eat well, drink well: 3-Michelin-starred lunch, award-winning chefs and quality wine producers.
- Sightseeing ranges from mediaeval to Modernist art and architecture.
- Contrasting bases: the centre of Barcelona and a converted farmhouse outside Figueres.
- This cultural holiday also includes the lesser-visited city of Girona, the Greek and Roman site of Empúries and a day in the northernmost reaches of the region, crossing into France.
Mentioned below are other holidays that fall either side of this one. If you would like to book two or more holidays in a row, it will be your responsibility to make your own way between them, however we are happy to offer advice if necessary. The exceptions are tours that are specifically offered as 'pre-festival' or 'post-festival' tours – for these we provide a transfer between tour and festival where needed. Please note that our online booking process allows for only one tour to be booked at a time so please contact us if you would like to book more than 1 tour or music festival.
