Accommodation
Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona
Good morning! Enjoy breakfast in your hotel.
Today you will go to Costa Brava. Our driver will pick you up in the morning to take you first to Figueres. The drive will take about an 1 hour and a half.
At arrival in Figueres our Art expert guide will be waiting for you for a tour on Dali Museum.
After arriving in Figueres, you’ll start your day by skipping the line at the Dalí Museum, going straight in for a private guided tour of the rich masterpieces found there. You’ll also have plenty of free time to explore on your own, and take in all the different works left behind by Dalí.
Built over the site of the town theater that Dalí knew as a child, the museum plays home to a permanent collection of approximately 1,500 pieces of work.
It is a building that Dalí designed himself, and just as eccentric as he was. Not only the outside is impressive, but the inside as well. Be sure to search out those small “Dalí touches” that adorn the interior, including the floors, walls and ceilings (see below).
After the museum our driver will take you to Llafranc for lunch. The drive will take around 50 minutes. Casamar restaurant, with a Michelin star, is located on the coast of Llafranc, where a beach with turquoise water and rocky coves surrounded by pine trees create a postcard-perfect and unforgettable image of the Costa Brava.
Its terrace has amazing views over the bay of Llafranc. Maria Casellas and her team offer outstanding service in the restaurant.
After lunch, you could continue to the beautiful Costa Brava, dotted with medieval villages along the coastline.
From Llafranc, take a ride down to Begur, a fishing village guarded by a castle that sits atop a hill, overlooking also the plain of Baix Empordà. Begur is filled with narrow streets and small town squares, and shares a past with Calella and Llafranc, meaning you’ll also find Indiano-Colonial style homes here as well.
All these villages are 15-20 minutes away. The drive back to Barcelona will take about 1 hour
