Barcelona: Located 90 minutes from Gerona by car, Barcelona is a must-see destination. A city by the sea, the Catalonian capital is famed for its unique Gaudi architecture, tapas bars and partying. If you’re there just for the day, take a trip to the Sagrada Familia — a church designed by Gaudi , often considered one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.
Begur: Only a 30-minute drive from Gerona, this medieval coastal town — with a maze of narrow streets, topped with a crumbling medieval castle — is one of Catalonia’s hidden gems. While visiting Begur, you can enjoy beach coves, seaside walks and varied architecture; as well as scrumptious food.
Llafranc: Part of the Costa Brava, Llafranc is a quiet and sophisticated beach resort that was once a favourite haunt of Salvador Dali. Unlike other resorts along the Costa Brava, this town’s golden sandy beaches are lined with low-rise, colourful hotels and restaurants that purvey delicious Catalan cuisine. Located under an hour from Gerona, Llafranc is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the azure Mediterranean Sea.
