On our rest day, there are several choices. Maybe you just want to take it easy, explore Girona, drink some good coffee and rest. If you fancy an excursion, why not try one of these.
Visit Barcelona
The Mediterranean city of Barcelona is sandwiched between mountains and sea, and offers both a small-town feel and a big-city metropolitan pulse. The 1.6 million inhabitants work hard and enjoy life just as intensely. During all stages of its own history, the city has been at the center of events, and continues to do so to this day as an internationally loved tourist paradise.
Barcelona är känt för konstnärliga mästerverk som Sagrada Família och Park Güell, likväl som sina många stränder, fotbollsarenan Camp Nou och lummiga parker. Vad just du ska göra i Barcelona beror på dina intresse
Barcelona is also known for having hosted the 1992 Summer Olympics, something that was very important for the city. In connection with its hosting of the Olympic Games, the management of the city began to refurbish some run-down areas, the infrastructure was improved in several places and, in general, the standard of living rose significantly. All this contributed to Barcelona investing more money in tourism, and this made Barcelona one of the most visited cities in Europe, on par with Paris, Madrid, London and the like.
It's easy to get there by express train in under 40 minutes
Salvador Dali Museum in Figueres
Salvador Dali was a genius. A visit to this absolutely magnificent museum is a must. You will not regret it.
You can get there easily by train.
Torre del Mar
The view from Torre del Mar, located between the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of the Sierra Nevada, is impressive. Unlike other parts of the Costa del Sol, Torre del Mar has largely managed to preserve the authentic Spanish atmosphere, despite the increase in tourism. The long promenade is lined with clubs, excellent fish restaurants and cafes. In addition, the wide sandy beach is simply fantastic. The city has good connections by tram to the beautiful and charming Velez-Malaga, which is well worth a visit.
