The Costa Brava

From Blanes to Portbou: this route will take you past unspoiled fishing villages and beaches with fine sands and calm waters. You’ll discover rugged cliffs facing the sea and peaceful coves hidden among the rocks. Get ready to enjoy the famous anchovies at L’ Escala, the shrimps at Palamós and the sea urchins at Calella. You can also savour cultural delights, such as the Roman ruins of Empúries and the Surrealist art of Salvador Dalí at the Dalí theatre-museum in Figueres

Costa da Morte

From Malpica to Finisterre: lovely natural landscapes and the wild beauty of the ocean will enchant you on this route. Winding roads and endless beaches, green meadows and steep cliffs.

You can start and end these routes wherever you like. Let your intuition be your guide, and explore whatever takes your fancy along the journey. Those improvised moments can be the memories that you'll keep for a lifetime.
