GRAND TOUR VERY CLOSE TO THE SKY – PLA D’URGELL

Section 1: Barcelona - Tarragona

From a cathedral that observes us from above, the cathedral of Lleida, we’ll begin our tour of the most spectacular adventures and the best landscapes with starry skies in Catalonia. We’ll travel to the heart of the Pyrenees, where we’ll hike and kayak among glacial lakes, spectacular waterfalls and mountain villages, and then discover a Romanesque architecture that is a World Heritage Site. We’ll enjoy its gastronomy such as the artisan cheeses and sausages famous in the region and the mountain recipes along the way.

Catalonia has it all and we want you to live the experience of a Grand Tour designed to enjoy the wonders of our region to the fullest.

Enjoy traveling!
