Rest in Santa Susanna is good not only in terms of passive pastime on the beach. Being in Spain in Catalonia and not to see the most iconic places, world famous attractions are Moveton. Therefore, it is worth allocating from vacation for several days to visit Barcelona, Girona, Figueras. Children will be particularly interesting to visiting the port of Aventura, where they are invited to travel for the whole day. The set is tours and directions from Santa Susanna, where it is worth going.
Where to buy tours? Of course, your hotel guide has been proposed a varied list of trips in different directions and different content. Do not rush to buy everything immediately. There are representative offices of large tour operators, such as Tez Tour, Coral Travel, in which there are exactly the same tours, but for less money. The difference is about 10-15 euros per person. You can buy it, I bought it myself. No deception. Also completed groups from Russian-speaking tourists with a Russian-speaking guide. The guide is very informed on the subject of the trip. Comfortable buses. What's the catch? You just buy a tour in fact without intermediaries, no one overpays anything.
From Santa Susanna, the longest excursion is in Nice. It is designed for two days and costs about 200 euros per person. You can go to France to the nearby border with Spain area. I did not seduce at this journey, because, though in a comfortable bus, about 3.5-4 hours did not want it, and then we still walk around the heat. Rested in July.
What is more remembered is a trip to Barcelona and Figueras. In Barcelona there are different tours, each of them is attractive in their own way. I chose a tour that included a trip to Guell Park, a visit to the walking boulevard La Rambla and Catalunya Square, as well as "singing" fountains and the Cathedral of the Holy Family (Sagrada Surname). This is called "Panoramic Barcelona". The cost per person about 35 euros, and if you buy about 45 euros from the hotel guide.
Within the framework of this tour, it will be possible to take a walk in Boulevard known in Barcelona - La Rambla. This is a similarity of Arbat in Moscow. There are many shopping shops that sell souvenir products, flowers, paintings. The boulevard is divided into five parts and each has its name. Opposite the building theater is the Kapuchin Boulevard. Here are local actors, mostly students earn, working for live statues. For hours, they are here in full grima at the amazement of the public. Moreover, makeup completely covers the whole body. From afar, looking at the fixed figure, you can take it for a real statue, monument. If you put a coin close, even one euro, the statue comes in motion. Unique spectacle. Who is just not to see. And Don Quixote, Cowboy, Fantastic Characters. How much strength and excerpts need to surprise passersby during the day. As for La Rambla, then there is a group of pocket vorays. We were warned in advance about it and said not to take any valuable things and even passports, but only copies. What did you do.
After La Rambla you will be lucky in Park Guell. This is one of the architectural masterpieces of the famous architect, truly genius, Antonio Gaudi. His creations are quite a few in the city. Among them and the Cathedral of the Holy Family (Sagrada Familia).
Unfortunately, it was not possible to get inside the cathedral due to time limitations. The guide told us about the history of the cathedral, its construction. This is the longest construction in the world. Start of construction - the end of the 19th century. Build it exclusively for donations. The cathedral can not not surprise. There is a mixture of several architectural styles, as well as creative copyright ideas of Gaudi himself. The cathedral has three facades, each of them is directly associated with biblical themes - this is Christmas, facade of passion and resurrection. An impressive structure that is worth seeing. The end of the construction is scheduled for 2016.
Guell Park is also very attractive. This is a fairytale. At least I have such impressions. Here is an intricate shape of the house with glazier roofs, everything is performed in a color mosaic technique. Be sure to visit the parking area of the park, which is standing on a hundred columns, and sit on the famous ergonomic bench. Indeed, she repeats the bends of the human body in the sitting position. This and sought Gaudi. There are a lot of tourists here, but everyone will find their excellent angle for photography.
In the evening about 8 hours you will be lucky to "singing" fountains. Catalan themselves call them mystical. Fountains occupy a huge area.
They perform various figures to the music of famous composers. There are more than 3 billion liters of water. The spectacle is great. I am very advised to visit.
From Santa Susanna, an even remarkable trip to Figueres was organized. There is the Theater Museum of the famous Surrealist artist, Geniya Salvador Dali.
The name Dali and Catalonia are indivisible. This is a person who is known worldwide due to its extraordinary thinking in painting, sculpture. Even if you are not a fan of his work, go to Figueres. It is worth seeing the Museum and Creation of the artist. Very curious and interesting. The museum itself is interesting, its arrangement. Very many different installations were given, each of which is attractive in its own way. There are many interesting things, paintings and sculptures. There are pictures with a 3D effect, but at that time they were called stereo paintings. You can talk about the museum a lot, but it is better to see. The cost of the trip is about 45 euros. The tour includes a visit to the museum, the castle of Pubol (the residence of his wife and Music Dali - Gang), as well as the tasting of Spanish wines in one small convention, where you will be brought. Lost wines can be bought on spill. Great gift to relatives and friends from Spain.
Many still tours are organized from Santa Susanna. I no longer have time, and my friends went to Montserrat Mount. Here is a monastery, in which there is a black Montarrrat maid. Typically, women suffering from infertility come to her.
The town of Santa Susanna himself can also be interesting for walking. It is worth noting that from one city to another along the coast to go for a long time. You can walk along the embankment and not to notice how the border crossed. So, here from Santa Susanna, if you move towards the north, there is a town Malgrad de Mar. It has an excellent botanical garden in the very center. He is referred to as Park F. Masia. And here is the ancient Catholic Church of St. Nicholas. This saint is honored all over the world and I have already seen a considerable number of temples in different countries called in his honor.
Being in Catalonia is to travel. Without travel, rest will not be complete.
