Suggested Itinerary#
Your itinerary is exclusively yours to tailor to suit your group's interests and profile of your members. Here is our suggested itinerary:
Day 1 – Barcelona
Scheduled flight to Barcelona from your preferred airport – transfer with our tour manager in our private executive coach to the 4* Pere IV Hotel.
Day 2 – Barcelona guided tour, Eixample Quarter, Parc Güell, La Sagrada Familia & Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya
Guided coach tour of Barcelona – the elegant Eixample Quarter of Barcelona is full of highly original buildings in the style of art and architecture known in Catalonia as Modernisme – Gaudí’s Parc Güell, commissioned by Eusebi Güell who wanted to create a stylish park for Barcelona aristocracy, was built between 1910 and 1914 and is now a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular visitor attractions of the city – travel on to the church of La Sagrada Familia, Gaudí’s great unfinished masterpiece – the collection of Catalan art at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) ranges from the 11th century Romanesque through the Gothic era to modern art with works by artists such as El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez, Gaudí, Dalí and Picasso.
Day 3 – Figueres, Museo Teatro & Girona
Figueres is the home town of Salvador Dalí – a guided tour of the Museo Teatro, founded in 1974 and now the most visited museum in Spain, which houses not only works by the great artist but is also the site of Dalí’s mausoleum – en route back to Barcelona we visit Girona, one of Catalonia’s most important cities, with its dominant cathedral and ancient medieval streets.
Day 4 – Casa Milà, Casa Batlló & Fundació Joan Miró
Visit Gaudí’s Casa Milà (or ‘La Pedrera’), the apartment block built between 1906 and 1910 and ridiculed by Barcelona’s intellectuals for its complete departure from the established construction principles of the time – the extraordinary Casa Batlló on the prestigious Passeig de Gràcia was designed by Gaudí for Josep Batlló, a wealthy aristocrat, and is now designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site – a guided tour of the Fundació Joan Miró explores the permanent collection of graphics, paintings and statues by the surrealist artist Joan Miró.
Day 5 – Abbey Montserrat
Enjoy a beautiful drive to Montserrat's Benedictine monastery clinging to craggy mountains that rise to over 1,000 metres with dramatic views over Catalonia – transfer to the airport for our scheduled flight back home.

Museu Picasso - the collection, which includes more than 3,500 works, is strongest on Picasso’s earliest years, up until 1904, which is apt considering that the artist spent his formative creative years in Barcelona
