Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive at Girona Airport or Figueres Train Station where you will be transferred to your accommodation in Castello D’Empuries. 
Castelló has retained its quiet charm and even in tourist season one can still enjoy peace and contemplation. Castelló began to flourish in the 11th century and rose to become an important economic centre. The Counts of Empúries made it their residence and 7 Monasteries can be found in the area around the town. The landmark of the small town, visible from afar, is the Parish Church Santa Maria which is often called the “cathedral of the Empordà” because of its size and gothic influence architecture.
Accommodation: Guest House, B&B, Castello D’Empuries Located in the heart of the town, built on the ruins of the former home of the Count of Castello, each of the uniquely designed rooms are fitted with fully reversible air conditioning and all have en-suite bathrooms, they offer lovely views of the village.
Day 2: In the morning you will take a beautiful and very relaxing half day power boat excursion. We will take you to some of the most 
beautiful places along the coast of the Cap de Creus peninsula. You’ll have the opportunity for a snorkel and to observe the local marine life. Of course if you don’t want to enter the water you can just stay on board and enjoy the views of the Costa Brava with its steep cliffs and crystal clear water.
Day 2 Afternoon: In the afternoon you will take a Quad Bike tour; 
you will travel off-road through the stunning Catalan countryside. This area of natural beauty with its extensive orchards and open plains in the centre of the Emporda Wetlands is a maze of country paths and lanes.
Day 3: Today you will go sea-kayaking, you will journey along the rugged Catalan coast, you will sea-kayak along hidden sandy coves 
and into spectacular sea caves, all the while enjoying the warm waters of the sparking turquoise sea. This is a fantastic way to enjoy the spectacular coastal scenery and the only way to see some of the most remote and inaccessible parts.
Day 4: Today we will travel to the mountain resort of Vall de Núria, at 2000 meters it has a unique wealth of nature and landscape. It sits above one of the highest points of the Ribes Valley and is surrounded by peaks of almost 3,000 metres, from which flow a multitude of water sources and torrents. You will take the rack railway up through this spectacular mountain landscape; the railway covers a distance of 12.5 
km and takes you up an incline of over 1000 metres. You will then descend on foot through the valley, this is an incredibly beautiful route and the best thing is it’s all downhill.
Day 5: Free Day: Perhaps a day on the beach, a visit to Dali’s house in Cadaqués or the Dali museum in Figueres, a visit to the Monastery 
of Sant Pere de Rodes or just a lazy day around the village would be in order. Or perhaps something more adventurous, like a tandem skydive or a hot air balloon flight.
Day 6: Today you will go canyoning, you will travel to the The Gorges du Anelles in the French Pyreness, it is a beautiful, steep and atmospheric canyon. The gorge is full of fun with many high jumps and abseils; it’s the perfect canyon for those new to canyoning.
Day 7: In the morning you will take another Quad Bike tour; again you will travel off-road through the stunning Catalan countryside, however we will take a different route giving you the opportunity to furthermore experience the beauty this area has to offer.
Day 7: In the afternoon we will visit a fantastic water fun park, there are 18 amazing attractions, twisting slides, no end descents, relaxing pools, crazy rivers and much more.
For the younger members of the family there are two children’s areas with a tropic island and kid’s lagoon, with waterfalls, mini-slides and climbing frames.
Day 8: In the morning you will have a guided cycling tour through the Aiguamolls d’Empordà nature reserve. We will ride through the park and visit the visitor centre El Cortalet. Here you will leave the bicycles and visit the main part of the park by foot. This visit is a must for birdwatchers and nature
lovers in general. Over 80 species of birds can be seen here in one day!
Day 8: In the afternoon you will continue your visit to the Aiguamolls d`Empordà nature reserve on 
horseback, at any time of the year you are likely to spot birds such as Ibis, Herons, Tufted Ducks, Pochards, Snipes, Redshanks, Marsh Harriers and Sandpipers, but if you are lucky you can make some exciting sightings during the spring and autumn migrations: Grey Herons, Golden Plovers, Flamingos, Black Storks and Spoonbills.
