About

Get prepared in the morning to enjoy a comfortable pick-up service by your guide, with a private vehicle, driving you through the most symbolic, representative and beautiful corners of Costa Brava, located in the northeast of Catalonia and bathed by the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea.
You will enjoy magnificent panoramic views, with viewpoints where you can stop for fantastic photo opportunities, in which the bright green tones blend with the turquoise waters in a magical combination.
Start a journey through time in the archeological remains of Empuries, an old city very important in the Mediterranean. Have a look to remains of the Greeks and Romans thanks to which we will discover how they lived and how were their city, streets, houses, temples, and markets.
These archeological remains are located in Sant Martí d’Empúries, a little town built next to one of the most important ports in the Roman times. Nowadays it is conserved as a medieval town, where we still can see most of the wall and feel its essence by walking through its narrow and picturesque streets.
Journey from Sant Martí d’Empúries to Estartit, the principal port and one of the diving destinations of Costa Brava, where you will take a ship to go to the Medes Islands. During an hour and a half and thanks to the underwater vision of the ship, you will be delighted seeing the stunning flora and fauna of the archipelago, which is known for having the best marine reserve of the western Mediterranean.
The Medes Islands is a small archipelago, located in the Mediterranean Sea, one mile of the Montgrí Coast and l’Estartit. The archipelago is formed by seven little islands and reefs which are home to an underwater site of extraordinary biological and ecological value. In 2010, The Medes Islands was declared as Protected National Nature Park and its ecosystem has been classified as the best Marine Reserve in the Western Mediterranean. Explore the flora and fauna that this pearl of the region has to offer and take the chance to take a deep dive in the crystalline waters of a Mediterranean cove, surrounded by caves and natural life.

Finally, walk through some of the most representative and charming fishing towns of the region, results of the combination between tradition and modernity, full of narrow streets and corners that hide a very long and rich history.
