Barcelona is one of the world’s key city tourism destinations. With 6.5 million tourists and 60,000 hotel beds, in recent years the city has become one of the top 5 European cities in the sector. The Catalan capital combines the appeal of culture and architecture (Gaudí) with the vitality of a dynamic city, which is expressed by its retail offering, gastronomy and sporting calendar, as well as its very special lifestyle. Located in the Mediterranean, the city’s 5 kilometres of beaches and its position as the Continent’s leading cruise destination and a hub for meetings tourism complete its appeal.

The Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol, open to the public since 1996, allows visitors to discover a medieval building in which Salvador Dalí lent material form to an exuberant creative effort with his mind set on one person, Gala, and on one function, to make a place suitable for his wife’s rest and refuge. The passage of time led to this place being turned between 1982 and 1984 into Salvador Dalí’s last workshop and the mausoleum for his muse.

Lunch and guided visit of the old town of Pals
The town has three main centres starts at the top of a hill with the old part of town.
Moving down towards the beach and among the woods you will find Masos de Pals, and a little further on, nearer the water you will arrive at the buildings of Platja de Pals or Pals Beach.
The town therefore has much to offer.
Seaside or countryside are lifestyle options, culture or leisure when it comes to free time and the peace of mind which comes with life in the Empordà, whatever your personal choice may be.
It could be said that there is a Pals for everyone, with fantastic cuisine, the culture and the history which surround the town easily seduce those visitors who sooner or later decide to return and perhaps even stay. -
Departure to Costa Barcelona
In the north of Barcelona you can enjoy the long beaches and small coves of Malgrat de Mar, Pineda de Mar, Santa Susanna and Calella, ideal holiday destinations for families. Further inland from this area, visitors are greeted by gentle landscapes and areas that are the home of Designation of Origin products, such as wine from Alella, that contribute to a high standard cuisine. Art Nouveau architecture, several specialised museums (Picasso) and colourful traditional festivals provide an interesting range of culture, while the coast and the protected natural areas of El Montnegre i el Corredor and La Serralada Litoral are ideal scenarios for active tourism. -
