CADAQUÉS
The Costa Brava forms the most northerly stretch of the coast of Catalonia and one of the most beautiful in Spain. Right in the heart of Cap de Creus is Cadaqués, an area set in the unusual natural landscape of the steep hills that cut across the county of Alt Empordà before falling into the sea in the form of cliffs.
This lovely village with seagoing routes has excellent beaches and tranquil coves with clear water which, together with an unbeatable tourist infrastructure, attracts anyone looking for a place to enjoy sun and sea. Its natural harbour and the natural quality of its sea offer the best conditions for practising all kinds of sports and aquatic activities, like diving, sailing or windsurfing.
The old town
At the head of Cadaqués bay rises the network of narrow cobbled streets and white houses making up the old town. Above the outline of the town, the image of the church of Santa María, a carefully restored church with a white façade, stands out, housing a magnificent Baroque style reredos. Modernist architecture, for its part, has left its distinctive imprint on some of the most notable buildings in the town, like the Casa Serinyena.
During the first decades of the 20th century, the town became an important European cultural centre. Many leading artists, like Picasso, Chagall and Klein, found their particular source of inspiration in this beautiful corner of the province of Gerona.
However, it was Salvador Dalí who gave Cadaqués international fame. The artistic genius spent long periods here during his childhood as well as establishing his home there. His house-museum, beside Port Lligat bay, to the north of the town, enables you to get to know part of the extensive work of this master of Surrealism.
The wide cultural offer of Cadaqués ranges from its many museums and art galleries, like the Municipal Art Museum, which exhibits works by artists who maintained close links with Cadaqués, or the Perrot-Moore Museum, which brings together works of European graphic art, without forgetting the now traditional International Music Festival, which is held annually in the church of Santa María.
Cuisine and surroundings
The rich culinary tradition of Empordà is well represented in Cadaquès, because in the town you can taste some of the specialities of the county. Dishes like fish "suquet" (stew), rice casserole or cuttlefish with peas show a clever combination of products from the sea and from inland. To accompany there, the Ampurdán-Costa Brava Denomination of Origin produces excellent wines, among which the “novell” (new) wine should be mentioned. Sweet wines are also made, as well as exceptional light, fruity young reds.
The strategic location of Cadaqués enables you to discover other places in the county of Alt Empordà. Several kilometres to the north is Colera, a seaside village which has lovely beaches like Garvet and Els Morts. Other places of interest are Llançà, with a lively marina and Port de la Selva, where the medieval monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes stands. To the south of Cap de Creus is Roses, which preserves remains of its ancient citadel (16th C.), and Castelló d’Empuries, where the church of Santa María (10th C.) is outstanding.
Nature lovers will find large protected areas in this part of the Costa Brava. In the Gulf of Roses you can visit the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, an important ecological reserve (especially for water birds). For its part, the Cap de Creus Natural Park is an excellent place from a natural point of view and a clear example of the look of the Costa Brava.

GIRONA
Set in the valley of the Ter, at the confluence of four rivers, we find the city of Girona. One of them, the Onyar, divides the historic centre from the modern city.
The old centre of this Catalan city preserves remains of its long history, from the time it was founded by the Romans in the 1st century B. C. To them we owe its original wall, whose remains stretch from the Archaeological Walk to the Wall Gardens.
La Força Vella
Set in this walled enclosure (La Força Vella), stands the Cathedral. Its romanesque origin is shown in its fortress-like appearance and strategic location, although the most outstanding aspect is an immense Gothic nave, the widest in Medieval European architecture. Inside, it preserves one of the textile jewels of Catalan Romanesque, the Creation Tapestry. Beside the entrance staircase to the cathedral is the Pia Alomoina, an old charitable institution in Gothic style.
Girona has other key pieces of religious architecture, like the Benedictine monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, a historic-artistic monument; or the church of Sant Nicolau. These are Romanesque churches whose apses and octagonal cupolas deserve a close look as they form key elements of the Catalan medieval style. The convent of Sant Doménech, built in Gothic style and clear example of the importance of the religious orders in the colonisation and repopulation of Catalonia during the Middle Ages, stands amid gardens.
Also to this historical period belong important displays of Arab and Jewish art, the result of these cultures living side-by-side with Christianity for centuries. So, you will discover the multitude of small streets making up El Call, the Jewish quarter of Girona. Calle Força is the heart of this district, which had a synagogue and centres of cabalistic study. The Plaça del Oli and the Plaça del Vi maintain all their flavour; and, in them are some of the greatest jewels of medieval palace architecture, like the Fontana d’Or. The Call is currently one of the best preserved Jewish quarters in Spain.
Not far from here, a Capuchin convent houses the Arab Baths, where we should point out a pavilion built on eight fine columns and crowned by an octagonal cupola.
Before crossing the river and walking towards modern Girona, you can climb up to the belltower of Sant Feliu or go to the Pont de Pedra (Stone Bridge) over the Onyar, where you can get overhead views of all the houses in the city and their façades painted in ochres, dark blues and copper. On the other side of the river you will find one of the most beautiful examples of Catalan Modernism, the work of Rafael Masó. Outstanding buildings are the Teixidor Factory and the Punxa House, among others. The Hospital de Santa Caterina, a Baroque building from the 17th century, is also in this area. And, on the other side of the Passeig Devesa, is one of the recreational areas for the people of Girona, the Parc Devesa. This is an exotic forest area largest made up of plane trees, giving a strong contrast with the city's medieval architecture.
The Costa Brava
Girona's excellent position, between the end of the Pyrenean chain and the Costa Brava, bathed by the Mediterranean sea, makes it easy for you to tour the whole province. The coastline that unfolds from Portbou (in the north) to Blanes (in the south) is made up of medieval churches, fishing villages, Roman remains, wide beaches and coves with clear water, among areas of cliffs. In all of them, the juxtaposition of sea and mountains forms an unforgettable landscape. You must not miss places like El Port de la Selva, with its monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes; the Cap de Creus Natural Park; the landscapes of Cadaqués and the gulf of Roses; historic-artistic sites like Pals; or walled towns beside the sea, like Tossa del Mar. And these are just some examples.
Right on the Costa Brava, in the village of Begur and on Aiguablava beach, is its Parador de Turismo. It is a modern building that has all kinds of leisure facilities as well as enviable views of the cliffs of Punta D'es Muts, on which it is located. This lovely environment, surrounded by sea and pinewoods, is a fantastic place for discovering Girona cuisine. The combination of products from the coast and inland create recipes like snail stew, flame-grilled vegetables with romesco sauce (made with almonds and chorizo pepper) or rice with fish as starters. Among second courses, you can choose from grilled fish, chicken with spiny lobster or rabbit with chocolate. "Crema catalana" (custard with caramelised sugar on top) or apples in puff pastry, might be among the desserts you choose. All this suitably accompanied by whites, reds and rosés with the Ampurdán-Costa Brava Denomination of Origin.
The summits and valleys of the Eastern Pyrenees are also worth a detailed tour. The valleys of Ribes and Núria soften a mountainous landscape crowned by high summits and crossed by fast-flowing rivers. The natural and landscape wealth of the Pyrenees is enriched by the medieval buildings of Puigcerdá or Sant Joan de les Abadesses, the popular architecture of mountain villages like Queralbs or ski stations like those at La Molina or Masella.
The high natural value of Girona has earned the protection, as natural parks, of the Empordà wetlands and the Volcanic Area of La Garrotxa. These places are very different from one another, which tell us of the richness of this Catalan province. They can be toured with the help of information offered by their information centres.

Great small tapas place in the Born neighborhood. It’s always crowded and you have to eat standing up (there’s a little table at the far end, but it’s always taken). To accompany the tapas, they offer a very nice and inexpensive kind of “champagne” (it’s really white wine with sparkling water). |

Cette maison a été dessinée par Francesc Berenguer, l'un des architectes qui a collaboré avec Gaudí pour la Sagarda Familia. En 1905, la maison a été achevée et Gaudí s'y est installé en 1906 jusqu'au jour de sa mort. En décembre 1926, la maison a été vendue, sur ordre testamentaire, et l'argent a été investi dans la construction de la Sagrada Família. |

Eixample Dreta |
| La Sagrada Famila de Barcelona |
En 1883, le brillant Gaudí a accepté de diriger les travaux, succédant à Francisco de Paula. L'artiste y a travaillé jusqu'à sa mort.
A voir : les façades "El Nacimiento" (Façade de la Nativité) et "La Pasión" (Façade de la Passion) et, en général, l'extérieur du monument.
Cette grande église est toujours en construction de nos jours. Gaudí a respecté les plans d'origine tout en laissant l'emprunte de sa personnalité et de sa façon de faire. Avant sa mort, il n'a eu le temps que de finir la Chapelle San José, la crypte et la façade "El Nacimiento". Les travaux sont permanents. Les façades et tous les éléments décoratifs extérieurs sont dans des couleurs lumineuses. La façade de "La Pasión" a un cryptogramme. |

El Port Vell - Maremagnum |
| Iglesia de Santa María del Mar |
C'est un exemple de la Catalogne Gothique. Son intérieur est caractérisé par une étonnante nef centrale.
A voir : La rosace (15ème siècle).
Caractéristiques du Monument Type de monument : Eglise. Période : 14ème siècle. Style : Gothique. C'est l'un des meilleurs exemples de l'architecture Gothique Catalane du 14ème siècle. C'est le travail de l'architecte Berenguer de Montagut. Il a été le temple des armateurs et des marchands de la Barcelone Gothique. De l'extérieur, son aspect est solide et robuste, dominé par des lignes droites. L'intérieur est constitué de trois nefs, d'un déambulatoire et il ne comporte pas de nef transversale. La nef centrale est très haute avec de grandes colonnes octogonales. On a découvert sous l'emplacement actuel de l'église, à l'occasion de fouilles dans les années soixante, une nécropole romaine existant entre le 4ème et 6ème siècle. |

Sitges |
| Sitges |
|
Sitges is one of the most representative towns of Costa de Garraf, Barcelona's southern littoral. Beaches with pristine waters, some of which have been awarded the blue flag eco-label and the proximity of the mountains make of Sitges a privileged destination. The urban centre is also worth a visit. It has beautiful religious buildings such as the churches of Sant Bartomeu and Santa Tecla.
Casa de la Vila, a nineteenth-century Gothic revival building and Palau Maricel, with Renaissance, Baroque and medieval elements, are other interesting places to visit in the city. The Modernist aesthetics from the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth century left in Sitges beautiful buildings like Cau Ferrat, the house-studio of writer and painter Santiago Rusiñol. This artist moved to Sitges in 1891 and turned it into a meeting point for artists and intellectuals, giving it the bohemian air that it still preserves.
Art and Culture
Sitges' cultural calendar includes important events such as the International Vintage Car Rally (of National Tourist Interest), Catalonia International Film Festival and the celebration of Corpus Christi. In addition, the traveller has three different museums to visit, in order to become acquainted with the area's cultural life. The house-studio of Rusiñol exhibits his works next to paintings by El Greco, Zuloaga and Picasso, among others. At the Maricel Museum they have Romanesque, Gothic and Modern art collections. To delve more deeply into nineteenth-century Catalan society, you must visit the Romantic Museum.
All around, there are innumerable restaurants where to try the local cuisine —in the historic quarter, the harbour and along the beaches. One of the main dishes is "xató", made with curly endive, cod, tuna, anchovies and olives, with a Romescu dressing (made with roasted chilli peppers, toasted almonds, garlic and olive oil). Stewed cuttlefish with potatoes and ali-oli, tuna hotpot and "fideuá" (paella with elbow macaroni instead of rice) are among the delicacies prepared in Sitges. These dishes should be had with some wine with Denominación de Origen Alella, Penedés, or Pla de Bages (Designation of Origin, the seal of quality and origin given in Spain to exceptional products from specific regions).
Marinas
More than four kilometres of fine, white beaches stretch along the coast of this town near Barcelona. Equipped with all kinds of service facilities, these beaches are the perfect leisure retreat. The best known of these are well connected and their shallow waters do not have a lot of swell. Others are located in remote spots and others are nudist. The marinas have a number of nautical activities available and many leisure companies have adventure programmes that include climbing, potholing and hiking.
Sitges is located between the Mediterranean Sea and the Coastal Mountain Range, reason why it has some spectacular sceneries. These gorgeous views can be enjoyed from Villafranca del Penedés and Sant Sadurní d´Anoia. The Cistercian Monastery of Santes Creus, declared World Heritage Site by UNESCO, is another exciting trip. The cities of Tarragona and Barcelona are also attractive choices. The ancient Roman Tarraco, situated in the middle of Costa Daurada, is lined with vast beaches, its archaeological compounds have also been declared World Heritage. This same title is held by several sites in Barcelona, like Park Güell, Palau Güell, Casa Milá, Palau de la Música Catalana (Catalonia Music Hall) and the Hospital of Sant Pau. The Gothic quarter, Ciutat Vella and Montjuïc are also excellent places to cover in our journey through the city of Barcelona.
