Hi I am thinking of booking onto the Costa Brava trip for Christmas and New Year. This will be the first time I have travelled with you and wondered how large the group is and the average age.

Many thanks

Hi Ben,

I've made my decision and just booked this holiday online, don't want to risk missing out.

It actually gave me options of 3 pre-bookable optional excurrsions during the booking process but no real description so haven't booked at this time (usually end up doing them all).

The website doesn't mention "optionals" other than some will be available in the resort.

Could you possibly give more details about these excurrsions ?

And are they only pre-bookable or could i make my mind up and book in the resort ?

Thanks

Mick

Good morning Mick!

Please see excursion information below -

Gaudis Barcelona - Prebookable and Bookable in resort- £63

An opportunity to take a further exploration of Barcelona, dedicated to the architect Antoni Gaudi, featuring the unique Parc Guell and his most famous work, the unfinished Sagrada Familia which will delight and baffle you. Our guided tour includes entrance into Casa de Milla, the Gaudi Museum and Parc Guell. Time permitting you will have some free time in Barcelona in the afternoon.

Full day - Minimal walking - Best Seller

Stiges and Wine tasting - Prebookable and Bookable in resort - £52

We visit Torres where we will be able to witness a thousand year old tradition; wine making. You will find the most sophisticated technology working hand in hand with tradition. The hour long tour begins inside the splendid 1300 m² visitors centre, with the screening of a video which explains the history.

At Pacs you can visit the Estate where they will show you the secrets of planting and picking grapes. You can see the arrival of the grapes, the fermentation process and visit the ample underground cellars. You will be able to walk amongst the casks, smell the wine whilst it ages and understand the secrets of this work.

And so that you may savour the results of our efforts, we have included a wine-tasting session of 3 wines (1 x white, 1 x rose and 1 x red) at the end of your tour in the vaulted-roofed tasting hall, so that you leave el Penedès with a good taste in your mouth...

In the afternoon we continue to the modernist coastal resort of Stiges, a place that has always captivated artists, tourists and, in general, visitors from all around the world. For many the secret lies in its light and almost 300 sunny days a year, as confirmed by painters, sculptors and writers who made this town their home during the late 19th century.

Full day - Minimal walking - Must see

Tarragona and Poblet - Prebookable and Bookable in resort - £54

Take advantage of this excursion visiting Tarragona, first occupied by the Romans in 218BC, with some of the best-preserved Roman ruins on the Iberian Peninsula, including the Anfiteatro Romano and the Praetorium, displaying an impressive collection of Roman artefacts. Later we tour the outstanding Monastery of Santa Maria de Poblet. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a superb example of a Cistercian monastery with its evocative cloisters and harmoniously proportioned 12th century chapter house.

Full day - Minimal walking - Historical interest

I hope this helps,

Kindest,

Ben

Hi Mick,

Hope you're ok, this tour has indeed sold out with a total of 44 fellow travellers. Ages range from 45 to 85, with the male to female ratio near enough 50/50. Your Tour Manager has not yet been allocated, this will happen a few months out from the departure date,

Kindest,

Ben
