THE COLONIA GÜELL was commissioned to Antoni Gaudí by Eusebi Güell. This industrial village was built near Güell’s textile factory to accommodate the employees and includes houses, a church, a school, a theater, and more. The buildings were designed by various architects in the Modernist (Art Nouveau) style. The entire complex—factory and industrial village—is located about 15 km west of Barcelona. The original idea was to keep the workers away from the social movements of the working class that were taking place in Barcelona at the end of the 19th century. This visit can be combined with a trip to Montserrat.
GIRONA is located about 100 km north of Barcelona. The historic center of the town is enclosed by medieval walls, with its highest point marked by the Tower of Sant Domènec. Within the walls, you can explore a variety of medieval sites and monuments, including the Arab Baths, the Church of Sant Feliu, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants, and, of course, the Cathedral—home to one of the widest naves in Europe. Today, the Monastery of Sant Pere de Galligants houses the Museum of Archaeology of Catalonia. You can also step inside the University of Girona to admire its beautiful cloister.
Several scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed in different parts of the historic center. At the heart of the old town lies the Jewish Quarter, also known as El Call, along with the Museum of the History of the Jewish Community of Girona—one of the most important Jewish communities in Spain until the end of the 15th century.
Outside the city walls, you can admire the picturesque old houses lining the Onyar River. Crossing the river via one of its bridges will lead you to Constitution Square (Plaça de la Constitució), surrounded by graceful arches.
Access to the Old Town is restricted to certain vehicles, such as delivery vans or street-cleaning trucks. Unauthorized vehicles are subject to fines. For this reason, your driver will drop you off at one of the entrances to the historic quarter and pick you up either there or at another gate if you prefer. In any case, Girona’s old town is compact and easily explored on foot.
THE COSTA BRAVA stretches from Blanes to the French border. It takes about one hour to reach Blanes from Barcelona via the highway. However, you can also leave the highway at Caldes d’Estrac and follow the scenic coastal road to Blanes. To avoid long hours of travel, it’s best to focus on just one section of the Costa Brava—either the southern area (Blanes, Lloret, Tossa, Sant Feliu de Guíxols, etc.) or the northern area (Palamós, Begur, L’Escala, Port de la Selva, Cap de Creus, etc.).
THE DALÍ MUSEUM is located in Figueres, the birthplace of the artist. Originally a theater, the building was transformed into a museum designed by Dalí himself. In addition to the main hall—where the artist is laid to rest—there is a smaller room dedicated to an exhibition of jewels created by Dalí. The journey from Barcelona to the museum takes over 1 hour and 30 minutes, so it is important to check the opening days and hours before traveling to Figueres.
SITGES is a charming coastal town located 40 km southwest of Barcelona. It boasts two seafront promenades and two beaches—the main beach and the smaller Sant Sebastià beach—separated by the old quarter and its seafront church. Not far from the old town, you can admire the “Indiano” houses, elegant mansions built at the turn of the 20th century by locals who had made their fortunes in the Spanish colonies.
Sitges hosts a number of renowned annual events, including the Sitges International Fantastic Film Festival, the vibrant Sitges Carnival, and the Barcelona–Sitges Vintage Car Rally.
Traveling between Barcelona and Sitges, you can opt for the scenic coastal road between Sitges and Castelldefels. Midway along the route lies the village of Garraf and the Güell Cellar, a work by Antoni Gaudí.
