We arrive in Malgrat de Mar late morning and have time to settle into our hotel for our first night in resort.
The Catalan capital, Barcelona, is a fantastic city to explore at leisure, with its wonderful architecture and bustling atmosphere.
Admire Antoni Gaudi’s incredible Modernist creations, including the as-yet-unfinished Sagrada Familia, and spend time shopping along the famous Las Ramblas boulevard. This mesmerising city is known for its excellent attractions as much for its delicious cuisine, so be sure to sample some of the local food during our time here.
Join our optional excursion to Besalu, which was an important town during the Middle Ages, with its territory extending as far as France and being designated a historic national property by the Spanish government in 1966.
The town is particularly famous for its 12th century bridge over the Fluvia River. It is a great place to wander through history with a number of buildings dating back almost 1000 years, still laid out in their original street configuration.

We make our way to a fantastic local market to enjoy a wide variety of local specialities, available to sample and buy. With everything from freshly caught seafood to delicious fresh fruits and expertly crafted olive oils, we'll have a wonderful time at this traditional Spanish market.
Girona is one of Catalonia’s major cities, and our optional trip here will be spent at leisure, so we can discover this excellent location to our hearts' content.
With lots of sights to enjoy, we’re sure to be kept busy during our visit! There are the ancient city walls and towers which mark the entrance to Girona’s Old Town, plus Girona Cathedral, dating from 1015. This cathedral is home to the world’s widest Gothic nave, although it isn’t the only prominent religious building in Girona – there’s also the Sant Pere de Galligants church, and the Collegiate Church of Sant Feliu.

As our holiday draws to a close, we say goodbye to Malgrat de Mar and will travel overnight towards home.

Our first holiday to Malgrat De Mar with husband and 17 year old daughter. Lovely to see she was not the only youngster on the coach. The coach journey down to Stop 24 went smoothly, arrived in time for the usual salt and pepper chicken from the take away. We didn’t really have to wait long before boarding our holiday coach, greeted by very jolly George and new driver Jamie. We were on the express trip so it’s straight down to Spain no stop over which we do prefer, unfortunately I was suffering with back pain and sciatica, so this journey was going to be a task for me. George is a very knowledgeable of Malgrat de Mar and was full of information of the area, hotel and the local history. New driver Jamie did well with his driving skills and avoided any collision when a car cut in front of the coach on our way - well done you. On arrival to the hotel the coach parks around corner so not too far to wheel cases, both drivers assisted with those that required help. Hotel is gorgeous and was informed by George that it had been updated, our rooms were lovely we had a view of the poolside and daughter has the spa side. First night at hotel was good mixing with all on the coach, including the drivers as the following day was a rest day for everyone after long trip. We found the food at the hotel very nice, plenty of choice, we would definitely do this trip again. We used the spa which was great for me with my back problem that had progressed through the week. Due to the heat and my back we only did the trip to Besalu as it was going be a land train around the area, thoughtful Jamie had bought a pillow along for me to use which I was really appreciative of, but unfortunately the land train broke down, George was on hand to guide us around the area pointing of places of interest. This was a lovely holiday albeit my back problem, which we would’ve done more exploring if I was better. The journey back for me was a struggle but Jamie on hand again with the pillow to aid my comfort. We would definitely recommend this holiday to anyone the resort and hotel area both lovely and we could not fault anything. A big thank you to both drivers for all their information and help throughout this trip, best drivers so far out of all our Shearing trips.
