One of the more popular tours in autumn for Fahy Travel is the 'Catalonia Gems Tours - Barcelona and Girona', which operates from Dublin on September 18.
This region in North-Eastern Spain is not as well-known as the South, but it has a rich history and a distinct cultural identity, its own language, and traditions. It is also one of the more picturesque parts of the Iberian Peninsula with its dramatic coastline, volcanic landscapes and Pyrenean peaks.
The trip is based in a 4* hotel in Lloret de Mar on a half board basis and includes tours to; Barcelona - a guided city tour to experience Barcelona’s culture, history, and scenic beauty. There will be time for shopping in the Gothic Quarter, or checking out the Picasso Museum; Monserrat - taking the scenic cog railway to the Santa Maria de Monserrat Abbey, home to one of the most important religious sites in Spain, The Black Madonna. This is a symbol of profound cultural and religious significance; Girona - where the traces of its Roman and medieval past coexist with the present. Get lost in its labyrinth of alleys and pass through the medieval scenes from the popular series “Game of Thrones”; and finally, Figueres - get to know and admire the works of the great artist Salvador Dali in the house-museum-castle Gala Dali in Pueblo and in the theatre-museum at Figueres. There is also some down time to enjoy the beach or explore the lovely town of Lloret de Mar on your own.
There is only one departure for this exciting trip at a cost of €949 per person sharing. Single rooms on request at a supplement of €180. Spaces are limited and early booking is recommended, call Fahy Travel now on 091-594 747.
