Visiting the Breathtaking Coves of the Costa Brava

Start off your day with a dip in the Mediterranean at the main beach in Tossa de Mar. It's a great way to start your day before you take off to explore one of the most stunning stretches of coast along the Costa Brava.

After the beach in Tossa de Mar, you'll start your drive along one of the most scenic stretches of coastline along the Costa Brava. The road winds along the cliffs, giving you glimpses of the incredible seascapes and rocky headlands at every turn. Down below, the gorgeous calas (small beach coves) make for some impressive swimming spots, tranquil inlets filled with striking crystalline waters. Cala Pola is one such stop.

Further along the coast, Cala Giverola is another beautiful cove with golden sands that coax you to throw out your towel, take in the sun, and enjoy another dip in the refreshing water.

After reaching Sant Feliu de Guixols, enjoy a late lunch at this seafood restaurant overlooking the town port. With fantastic views and even better dishes, it's a memorable spot for a meal.

Take your time and enjoy the drive back home — the scenery is still beautiful even after you've left the coast. Break up the drive with a stop in Macanet de la Selva, a sleepy town with this fantastic café serving up good coffee, crêpes, and pancakes.

The final stop on this road trip itinerary is this fascinating stone structure, made from several megaliths and dating to sometime between 3500 and 2000 BC. The site has long been associated with witches and covens, a mysterious destination with gorgeous views over the surrounding landscapes.

Cervecería Catalana is a popular choice of restaurant in Barcelona, offering world-class Catalan food and a fun, bustling environment that's oh so Spanish. The perfect way to end your trip!
