Excursions
Santa Clotilde Gardens
Santa Clotilde Gardens, perched on a cliff in Lloret de Mar, offer stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea. Designed in the early 20th century in the Italian Renaissance style, the gardens feature elegant terraces, sculptures, fountains, and lush cypress-lined pathways that create a tranquil, romantic atmosphere.
La Mussara and Avencs de La Febró
La Mussara, an abandoned mountain village in Tarragona’s Prades range, is shrouded in legend and mystery. Nearby, the Avencs de La Febró reveals a striking forest chasm with towering cliffs and lush greenery, perfect for an adventurous escape.
Las Cuevas de Can Riera
The caves of Can Riera are situated close to the town of Torrelles de Llobregat, 17km from Barcelona (roughly a half hour drive). Over time, wind and rain created the attractive shapes on the sandstone walls of these caves, which resemble Antelope Canyon in Arizona.
Marimurtra Botanical Garden
The Marimurtra Botanical Garden is situated in Blanes on the Costa Brava, about a one hour drive from Barcelona. The cliff top setting gives magnificent views out to the Mediterranean sea.
The Three Hills Walk
This is a beautiful walk of about 6km within the city that takes about 2 hours, winding through the districts of Grà cia, Carmel and Horta-Guinardó. Along the way we pass three hills: Coll (249 meters), Carmel (267 meters) and Rovira (261 meters).
