Costa Brava is a very popular resort area on the Mediterranean coast of Catalonia. It is located north of Barcelona in the direction of the border with France. That is why for vacationers in the area there is an excursion to France, its surrounding areas, as well as a two-day tour to Nice. The cost of the latter is 200 euros per person and the transfer includes transfer, guide services and breakfast only.
From Costa Brava, you can choose various routes and tours depending on their content and saturation. There are historical tours or entertainment. There are a lot of travel options.
Special attention deserves a trip to Barcelona. This tour is usually referred to as "Panoramic Barcelona" and involves the inspection of the signs of "Pearls of Catalonia". When choosing a tour, pay attention to the list of attractions that you can visit. One program includes a visit to the famous "singing" fountains, there is no one in the other. I am very advised to choose a tour with fountains. Its cost is about 35 euros. If you buy a tour of the hotel, save 10-15 euros. You can order in the "Tez Tour" and "Coral". These are proven tour operators whose firms are located in every resort town of Costa Brava.
As part of the "Panoramic Barcelona" it will be possible to visit the famous Park Guell.
This is a truly architectural masterpiece, executed in mosaic technique with interesting and intricate buildings with glazed roofs. Gaudi greatly influenced the appearance of Barcelona. By traveling to Park Guell, you certainly, on the way you will see the famous facade of the Balo House in the form of bone columns and skull-balconies, as well as a Mila House, in which there is not a single straight line. But his most outstanding work, which deserves attention - the Cathedral of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia). This is not only an externally original and creative decision of the cathedral, but also the most long-term construction in the world. It is constructed for more than 130 years and is planned to be handed over in 2016. The duration of construction is due to the fact that funds are donations of parishioners and in addition, in many ways, they influenced the construction of the cathedral, so to speak for some years "frozen" the construction site. So now, visiting Sagrada last name, you will see near the scaffolding and cranes. But we are given the opportunity to see the solemn "delivery" of the building, to evaluate the completed idea of Gaudi, embodied in the Grand Cathedral. To see the whole cathedral, you need to get around it around. After all, every facade is one of the biblical scenes associated with Merry Christmas, passions and resurrection. It is worth carefully look at the decor, design. Here are the figures of people whose compositions. Gaudi for the image of children's figures used dead children. Take a picture of Sagrada. Familia is difficult. We must look for optimal angles.
To understand how the cathedral will look in complete form, you can look at its reduced copy, represented in one of the souvenir shops located literally across the road.
As part of the tour, you will visit the famous walking Boulevard La Rambla, and then closer to the evening there will be a trip to singing, or as they call the Catalans - mystical fountains. There is a whole show. To the music of famous composers of the woven poles seek and dancing, creating different forms. To enhance their effect, they are highlighted by spotlights. A unique spectacle that is worth seeing.
The second no less interesting excursion is Figueres. There is a famous Surrealist Surrealist Museum Salvado Dali. Even for tourists who do not like and do not understand the artist's creativity, it will be interesting to visit his "brainchild", see the famous works of painting, sculpture, his privacy, puzzles.
It is very interesting here, unusual. Be sure to take with you children. For them, the museum also has a lot of interesting things. It will be about how to tell classmates. It is worth seeing the museum at least once. There are three-dimensional paintings, original sculptures. Separately presents a gallery with jewelry, filled in alternatively. There are quite familiar works Dali, but there are few of them. There is something surprised here. The cost of the tour is 48 euros. Go from Costa Brava for about an hour. As part of this tour, there will be another visit to the Castle Pubol. This is the residence of Gang - wives and the music of the artist. After visiting the museum and the castle, you are waiting for a trip to the wine ship, where you can taste and buy the famous brands of Spanish wines.
Excursions to Port Aventura are organized from the resort district, Montserrat. You can go to Tarragona, Girona. Each of these cities has very interesting architectural monuments dating back by another period of Roman government to the lands of Spain. In particular, the Roman Amphitheater and the Circus Building remained in Tarragona.
