Costa Brava is made of small beaches, scenic roads following the sea and fishing villages. Starting in Blanes and ending in Cadaqués, we’ll stop for swims, short walks, and small white towns along the way. A relaxed route that moves north, ready for the countryside and mountains on day four.

 

Day 4 – South of Costa Brava - Blanes - Tossa de Mar

• Drive to Blanes (1h45 with our vans - no need to take the motorway - set up google to chose by default the shortest road) and visit Jardí Botànic Marimurtra for cliffside gardens and sea views.

• Head to Tossa de Mar to visit the old town and the castle. Skip the crowded main beach and swim at Cala Llevadó or Cala Pola.

• Afternoon – Take the GI-682 scenic coastal road from Tossa to Sant Feliu de Guíxols — one of the most beautiful drives in Catalunya. Stop at Mirador de Cala Canyet along the way.

• Overnight stay - (working on it)

​​

Day 5 – Pals Llafranc Begur

​​

• Morning – If you’re up for adventure, start the day with the the Via Ferrata de Cala del Molí in Sant Feliu or enjoy a short Camí de Ronda walk nearby.

• Late Morning – Drive to Calella de Palafrugell. Park outside and walk the Camí de Ronda to Llafranc — an easy coastal trail with small coves and clear water.

• Afternoon – Continue to Cala Estreta, one of the wildest coves on the Costa Brava. Access is via a short walk from Aparcamiento Castell, a basic but official campervan parking above Platja del Castell.

• Overnight – Aparcamiento Castell (around €15–20/night, confirm on arrival) with the beach just minutes away.

​​

Day 6 – Begur → Peratallada → Cadaqués

​​

• Morning – Drive to Begur for panoramic views from the castle and colourful old streets.

• Late Morning – Continue to Pals, a hilltop medieval town with cobbled streets and watchtowers. Just 15 minutes away is Peratallada, another perfectly preserved stone village with quiet squares and artisan shops.

• Afternoon – Head north to Cadaqués, explore its whitewashed lanes, and, if time allows, visit Portlligat (Dalí’s house) or Cap de Creus lighthouse

🏞️ Day 7 – Mountains & Medieval Villages

​

For this last day, I leave you with different options to chose from. After the coast, head inland for a change of scenery — medieval towns balanced on cliffs, mountain landscapes, and monasteries with views. This is a full day, so start early.

​

• Part 1 North – Besalú & Castellfollit de la Roca

From Cadaqués, drive west to Besalú (about 2h15). The 12th-century stone bridge over the Fluvià River is the town’s icon, and the narrow streets hide Romanesque churches and old Jewish quarter remains.
Ten minutes away is Castellfollit de la Roca, a tiny village perched on a basalt cliff with sheer drops on both sides. It’s worth a short walk through the main street to the viewpoint at the end.

​

• Part 2 -  Rupit & Tavertet

Continue south to Rupit, a postcard-perfect mountain village where hanging wooden bridges connect cobbled lanes. Have lunch here or bring a picnic.
Then drive a short, winding road to Tavertet, sitting on a plateau with views across the Sau reservoir and the surrounding cliffs — one of the best natural panoramas in central Catalunya.

​

• Part 3 South Mura & Montserrat

Closer to Barcelona, you have the smaller and less kniwn village of Mura, another tiny stone village in the Sant Llorenç del Munt i l’Obac Natural Park. It’s quieter than the others and feels frozen in time. The road is a nice scenery in some parts. Follow up by going to Montserrat, the mountain monastery with its jagged rock peaks. Take the funicular for higher views if there’s time and there are lots of great spots to stay overnight near Monserrat.

This is V1, a lot to improve but that still gives good tips :)
