We'll explore the local culture today with an included visit to Montserrat, a sacred mountain and Catalonia's religious heart. Here we'll step inside the famous cliffside Monastery of Montserrat. The original building was destroyed during the War of Independence and the structure we see today dates back to 1844 and is inhabited by around 80 Benedictine monks.

During a full-day tour we'll discover so many of the highlights of this vibrant city, which displays the wonderful work of architect Antoni Gaudi. We'll see many fascinating and iconic places, inviting squares and maze-like lanes, with stunning examples of Gaudi's work all around, not least the magnificent Sagrada Familia. This grand basilica is one of the most visited attractions in Barcelona and to see it at close quarters is quite breathtaking.

Next we make our way to another quaint medieval town, Besalú, which we'll approach via a fortified bridge featuring a gateway at its mid-point. Amongst its maze of narrow streets we'll see the remains of a medieval synagogue and the town's restored Mikvah - a ritual Jewish bath dating back to the 11th and 12th centuries and it's one of just three surviving in the whole of Europe.

Optional Excursions
Experience even more of your destination by adding one or more optional excursions to your holiday before you set off. Take a look below at the extra trips you can enjoy on this tour.
Discover Figueres, The Birthplace of Artist Salvador Dali
On this optional excursion, we will visit the famous Museu Dalí. The Dalí Theatre-Museum in the Plaça Gala i Salvador Dalí. Salvador Dalí himself had the Museum built on the remains of the Municipal Theatre of Figueres, which was destroyed by fire at the end of the Civil War. Dalí was looking for a suitable place to exhibit his works and considered that the best place was in his hometown. The Dalí Theatre-Museum was inaugurated on 28 September 1974 and is considered by many to be the largest surrealist object in the world. This is because the building itself is a work of art, conceived and designed by Salvador Dalí himself. In the Dalí Museum there are some 1,500 works by the artist, including paintings, sculptures, jewellery, drawings, compositions, etc. The Dalí Theatre-Museum also houses the crypt where Dalí is buried. After the visit, and some free time for lunch we will continue our guided tour to get to know the city and its fascinating landmarks.
