Catalan Coast Tour -
Barcelona
Barcelona, the capital of Catalonia, one of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities, is also known as the country’s most progressive city, always on the cutting-edge of European art, fashion and cuisine. Its energy is unparalleled, with hundreds of bars, restaurants, cafes and clubs.
Highlights of the tour include the beautiful preserved Gothic Quarter with its impressive concentration of medieval buildings within the former confines of 4th century Roman walls. The Art Nouveau structures of the Eixample area manifest the city’s 19th century affluence and industrial success. Here, Antoni Gaudí constructed houses, parks and churches characterised by undulating, colourful, experimental forms. His most famous works are Parc Guell and the Sagrada Familia, still under construction today.
Costal del Sol Tour -
Cordoba
The city of Cordoba is a very special place. As the capital of Al-Andalus, it stood as the most powerful and significant city not just in Spain, but also in Europe during the “golden age” of the Moors. Cordoba also boasts of a rich historical background with Iberian, Visigoth, Roman, Moorish, Jewish and Christian civilizations contributing to its unique personality and vitality.
Highlighs of the tour include the Grand Mosque of Cordoba, one of the best examples of Islamic architecture in Spain and among the most visited sites in the country. Its marvellous design, graceful columns and delicate arches are a wonder to behold. La Juderia (Jewish Quarter), is a quaint and authentic setting of flower-filled patios and cobblestone streets. Plus Cordoba has a lot to offer in terms of culture, music and art.
Mallorca Tour - Palma
Palma is a city in which the visitor can just wander around, but it also has a number of monuments that are well worth a visit.
Highlights of the tour include the Gothic Cathedral and the maze of streets around it which lead to the beautiful Banys Arabs, the old Moorish bath house. Opposite the cathedral there is the Palau de l’Almudaina which used to be the Moorish governors’ palace and later that of the Mallorca Kings. The beautiful, well-preserved Castell de Bellver dates to the 14th century and is to the west of the city centre, at the top of a wooded hill.
The colourful market at Inca / Sineu is worth visiting to barter for a variety of goods including clothes, fruit, vegetables, music, souvenirs, local crafts, shoes and leather handbags and coats.
Lunch and entrance fees are not included. However you can request a packed lunch with your hotel. The date of your tour will be confirmed to you by your guide upon arrival. All excursions include an English-speaking guide. Excursion not included in long stays at the Sunset Beach Club.
