We journey aboard Eurostar from London to Paris and continue by TGV to Girona. On arrival, we are transferred by coach to a city centre hotel, our base for the next seven nights.

After breakfast at the hotel, spend the morning at leisure. We enjoy a three-course lunch at the hotel, before our local guide takes us on a walking tour of Girona. This charming city is situated in the northeast of Catalonia, between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, and is rich with historical and cultural heritage. The walled medieval quarter, which sits on a hill overlooking the city, is a delight to explore, and the riverbanks are lined with brightly painted houses. The historic centre is a maze of stunning churches, art galleries, fine squares, and cobbled streets. A wealthy city in medieval times, many superb Gothic and Romanesque buildings were constructed, and a Jewish community flourished here until 1492 – the old Jewish Quarter, Europe’s largest, has now been restored. The splendid cathedral features ornate stained-glass windows and the world’s widest Gothic nave. Our local guide will provide a comprehensive introduction to this fascinating city this afternoon.

This evening, we enjoy dinner at the hotel.

Girona

Today, we discover the French Pyrenees in the company of a local guide. We travel by coach to join the Train du pays Cathere et du Fenouillèdes, affectionately called the Red Train, which passes through a land of vineyards and castles as it slowly climbs over an impressive 60km from Rivesaltes to Axat. We enjoy some free time in the pretty town of Axat, high in the Aude valley, before returning to our hotel by coach.

Today’s journey is in Spain on the Núria Valley Rack Railway, which is twinned with the Jungfrau Rack Railway in Switzerland. We travel by coach to join the Rack Railway. It’s the only means of transport to access the valley, so you are guaranteed breathtaking views of mountains and meadows as we climb more than 1,000m. With the help of a local guide, we can learn more about this remote region and enjoy a tasting of local produce. We return to our hotel by coach and enjoy dinner this evening.

Núria Valley Rack Railway

Our included excursion takes us to France and the French Pyrenees. We travel by coach to Villefranche where there's free time before joining the Yellow Train for an unforgettable journey through the Pyrenees. Sit back and relax as the line winds up the Tet valley, travelling through forests and tunnels and across ravines and viaducts, including the Pont Gisclard suspension bridge and the Séjourné viaduct with its dramatic double-decker arches.

We alight from the train at the small village of Mont Louis and return to our hotel by coach.

This morning, we board our coach for the journey to the Catalan town of Figueres, named after the sweet fig trees that once thrived here. A mix of architectural styles can be found in the old town along with various cultural attractions, the most popular being the Dalí Museum, which we include entry to. This amazing building is dedicated to the town’s most famous son, Salvador Dalí, and is highly recommended for anyone visiting northern Spain. We return to the hotel by coach and enjoy dinner in the hotel this evening.
