Excursions & Itinerary

Day 1 - 23 December - Fly to Spain

Your Christmas holiday begins with the flight to Barcelona from your chosen UK airport. On arrival you’ll transfer to our hotel in Calella on Spain’s Costa Brava for your five nights stay.

Day 2 - Christmas Eve - The Costa Brava the ‘Wild Coast’

After a relaxed breakfast our included excursion takes us on a drive north along the Costa Brava with its spectacular coastline, to the pretty village of Tossa de Mar. Here we can take a walk in the old quarter including its medieval castle. The narrow and cobbled streets give the town a great feeling to it and there are many terrace bars and restaurants to choose from for a glass of vino, a coffee or a bite to eat before we make our way back to the hotel. This evening we’ll enjoy a special Christmas Eve buffet dinner with wine and cava at our hotel and later this evening you may wish to join the local congregation for the midnight mass.

Day 3 - Christmas Day

Merry Christmas! Enjoy a leisurely morning opening your presents before sitting down to enjoy Christmas Day lunch with wine and cava. This afternoon you could make your way to the promenade, which is a favourite place for the locals out for a stroll, and enjoy a walk to take off a few of those extra calories!

Day 4 - 26 December - Barcelona

Today we take a panoramic tour of Barcelona: from the beautiful Byzantine bullring to Gaudi’s masterpieces along the Paseo de Gracia boulevard and with views of the most iconic building in Spain, the Sagrada Familia. We’ll also drive up to the mountain of Montjuic, from where we get great views of the city and its harbour. It is also the area of Barcelona which was used during the Summer Olympics in 1992 and we will be able to see the stadia there. Our coach will then drop us off in the centre of the city where we’ll have time for a spot of lunch and we can then stroll down the Ramblas and enjoy the Gothic Quarter before making our way back to our hotel

Day 5 - 27 December - At leisure

Spend today at leisure enjoying the comfortable surroundings of our hotel or perhaps exploring Calella’s old town centre. Browse in the colourful shops and boutiques which are beautifully decorated for Christmas and then perhaps relax in one of the many cafes and bars.

Day 6 - 28th December - Fly to the UK

Today we leave Calella at the appropriate time for the transfer to the airport and the return flight to the UK. N.B. The days of the excursions may be subject to change.
