Sat - An early start as we make our way to Dover to catch our crossing to Calais. We then head to our overnight hotel in Orleans.
Sun - After breakfast we depart the hotel and continue our journey to our main stay hotel in Roses where you will receive an alcoholic welcome drink on arrival.
Mon - We spend our day relaxing and getting our bearings in lovely Roses. You can make use of the excellent leisure facilities at our hotel, sunbathe on some of the most attractive and least crowded beaches of the Costa Brava, or you can explore the old town of Roses.
Tue - This morning we embark on a relaxing one-way cruise from Roses to Cadaqués.
Upon arrival we enjoy an afternoon at leisure, exploring Cadaqués’ maze of pretty, narrow streets that tumble down to the water, and stylish art galleries that mingle with the souvenir shops, cafés and seafood restaurants.
Wed - This morning we make our way to the historic city of Girona, where the beautiful Roman walled old quarter, Força Vella, is dominated by the 11th century Cathedral tower and its baroque facade. Its Gothic nave is the largest of its kind in the world! Located within the Força Vella is the Jewish Quarter (or ‘Call’), one of the city’s most remarkable areas. A labyrinth of narrow medieval streets and passageways makes this area one of the most picturesque in Catalonia. While in Girona we can shop and explore at leisure, perhaps discovering the Arab Baths built in the 12th century, or the Basílica de Sant Feliu, with its castle-like appearance and priceless works of art.
Thu - After breakfast we head south to L’Estartit to embark on a truly unique experience; a cruise through the Medes Islands Nature Reserve on a glass-bottomed boat. During the cruise we discover the beauty, diversity and richness of the nature reserve’s underwater life thanks to the submerged cabins with large viewing windows.
Fri - Today is spent at leisure in Roses. You may wish to make further use of the hotel’s lovely leisure facilities or make the most of the beautiful beachfront setting with a day well spent relaxing and sunning yourselves.
Sat - After breakfast we depart the hotel and commence the journey of retracing our steps back to our overnight hotel in Orleans.
Sun - Enjoy our last breakfast on this fantastic holiday before heading back to the Port in Calais. We cross back to Dover and make our way home.
