Day 1: If you discover Girona, you will want to return!In the previous itinerary you travelled through its heart, now is a good time to get to know its surroundings. The best way is with a bicycle. You can start from the city centre and visit some surrounding municipalities such as Salt and its cosy Deveses park; Bescanó, which has the largest volcanic crater on the peninsula, and the picturesque yellow wheat fields of Sant Gregori. Since doing this route you will have burned a few calories, if you want, treat yourself to a taste of typical Catalan desserts. There are a lot of them: crema catalana, Santa Teresa's toasts, bunyols (or brunyols as they say there) from l'Empordà... Prepare your stomachs as there is a lot of work to do!< p>The love for Girona is not fleeting. The capital of the Costa Brava is impossible to enjoy in one day. Since you won't have got enough, put it in your diary that you have to find time to visit it again.Day 2: La Bisbal d'Empordà, where ceramics is a way of lifeThe Bisbal d'Empordà is the Catalan capital of ceramics. To learn about the roots of ceramics in this town of Baix Empordà, we recommend that you visit the Terracotta Museum. When you finish your visit, you will want to take a ceramic souvenir from La Bisbal with you. On Carrer de la Aigüeta you will find most of the town's ceramic shops, artisan workshops, some of which can be visited, and exhibition halls. Taking advantage of the promenade, also go and explore its medieval centre and the Jewish quarter.When you are in La Bisbal try to set aside some time to go to the town of Peratallada. It was declared a historical-artistic complex because it is one of the most important and best-preserved centres of medieval architecture in Catalonia. Visit its old fortified core, take a leisurely stroll through the streets to the Plaça Major, discover the tribute tower and take a good look at the Gothic architectural details throughout the town.< p>You can end the day in Ullastret. On the outskirts of this town, on the hill of Sant Andreu, is the most important Iberian town in Catalonia. The remains are from the 7th century BC and you can easily recognise the walls that surrounded the town, the streets, the houses and the temples. If you still have energy left and fancy an evening plan, the Observatori Astronomical les Gavarres is your choice It is located on the top floor of the Girona Angels Sanctuary. If you go with the little ones, they even have an inflatable planetarium so they can learn astronomy while playing. Of course, the children's sessions are only organized on Tuesdays and the first Saturdays of each month.Day 3: Quermany al trotThey say that the breakfast is the most important meal of the day, today it will certainly be like that. Gather strength because a route awaits you in kayak< /a>. You will leave at dawn from Plaja de Tamariu to contemplate a unique astronomical phenomenon in Gispert's cave. The combination of the rectilinear shape of the cave with its orientation to the east means that, twice a year, the sun rises exactly in line with the cave and its entire interior is illuminated. It will give you goosebumps to see how the corners of this secluded grotto are revealed in front of you.Scuba diving will be a good plan to complement the kayak route. At Aiguablava they organise dives, both for experienced divers and for those who want to try this underwater experience for the first time. Back on the surface, don't miss the opportunity to visit the horse. If you dare to do it, there is a route that starts from Begur and climbs up to the Quermany, a 221 metre hill. Keep your camera at hand because from up there you will have spectacular panoramic views of the Illes Medes and the Montgrí or Begur castles.Day 4: Palamós for foodies The market at the port of Palamós is the Wall Street of fish on the Costa Brava. You can visit the auction where all the seafood that was caught on the same day is sold. The star is the Palamós prawn, red in colour and very tasty. If you like this crustacean, some restaurants in the municipality organise a prawn menu, with day and night versions.In Palamós the fishing show does not end at the port, it continues at the Fishing Museum. This centre collects the past, present and future of fishing, through its permanent exhibition and a set of activities linked to the seafaring and fishing world of the Costa Brava. Now that you know how to sell and buy and how to fish, it's time to learn how to cook Empordà fish. In the cooking workshops at the Espai del Peix, which is in the same port, you will be taught prepare seafood recipes with seafood caught in Palamós: steamed red mullet with potato and parsley oil, cuttlefish with peas or rice in a goat and crab casserole.A good way to say goodbye to Palamós is by visiting the spectacular winery Finca Bell-lloc, with a tasting of wines included. Tasting its white wine you will feel a delicious combination of aromas of dried white flowers and heather honey. To conclude the day, you can reach Romanyà de la Selva. There is the Cova d'en Daina, one of the most impressive dolmens in Catalonia.Day 5: Ornithology in Platja d'AroPlatja d'Aro is one of the most popular towns on the Costa Brava for several reasons. But do you know its big green lung? It is the Parc dels Estanys, a natural space of 150,000 square metres, located in the centre of the municipality. There you can take an ornithological tour and glimpse many of the 250 species that inhabit the wetlands during the different seasons of the year.Day 6: Get active in Sant Feliu de Guíxols The coast of Sant Feliu de Guíxols hides a large number of coves with crystal clear water that make their way between the cliffs. One way to discover them is by kayak. Let yourself be carried away, paddling, calmly, while the refreshing sea breeze of the first hours of the day caresses your face on the coast of Sant Feliu de Guíxols. There is another option, but this one is for advanced level athletes, is to go swimming along the white waters of Sant Feliu de Guíxols. Its level of difficulty is high, so if you are not an advanced swimmer, it is better if you choose to walk along the circular path that runs parallel to this path. The best thing about these routes is that, in addition to enjoying the scenery of the coast, you also enjoy the seabed.On this sixth day you still have time to visit the old town of Tossa de Mar. The walls of the ancient city are so close to the sea that it seems they could gain ground in the clear waters of the Mediterranean. Do you know another town where you can sunbathe on the beach while looking at historical vestiges?Day 7: Lloret de Mar is a museumA Lloret de Mar are proud of their locality and that is why they have turned it into an open-air museum so that everyone can enjoy it. Today we suggest you visit the MOLL (Open Museum of Lloret) or what is the same, an itinerary through the most emblematic corners of the town. The MOLL proposes a route of 14 places. A good option is to start the tour at the Museu del Mar-Can Garriga, which will reveal the history of Lloret and its close connection with the sea. The walk continues through the Gardens of Santa Clotilde, which are located in a place of great beauty, on top of a cliff above the sea with impressive views, and the castle of Sant Joan, built in the 11th century. In the afternoon, how about an injection of adrenaline at sea? Want to know how? Renting a jet ski and piloting it on a circuit on the beach of Lloret or taking an excursion through the waters of the Costa Brava.Day 8: Did you know that in Sils there is the door to hell?The eighth day of the Costa Brava route requires two items: the swimsuit and the towel. A day of fun awaits you today at the Marineland water park in Palafolls. Your children are already screaming with joy. After seeing the dolphin show they will be sure that they want to be dolphin tamers when they grow up. They won't want to leave without watching the penguins get fed and going down the Kamizake, a steep individual slide at the water park.Once dry after soaking, say goodbye to Marineland and put on your boots because the next station is sils lake. There is the Gate of Hell. Don't worry, you won't be judged for your sins. Legend has it that a farmer in the area, whose name was Pere Porter, managed to find the door by following the demon's directions. The devil won't guide you, a GPS will. At the Lagoon Information Centre you will be provided with the necessary equipment and directions to take this entertaining route that will take you to the entrance to the cave. What awaits you is better if you see it with your own eyes...If you are more into cycling, you have the route between Blanes and Fogars de la Selva. Before you set off, however, stretch your legs through the charming historic center of Blanes< /b>. Now yes, get on the bike, and go! You will ride along one of the sections of the Grans Camins de l'Aigua itineraries network, which will take you through the castle of Sant Joan de Blanes and the Botanical Garden of Marimurtra. We suggest that you take a longer break in the garden, because it is a pleasure to walk among this vegetation.Day 9: At the Hotel Balneari Vichy Catalan, breathe in, calmly and deeply... For this we recommend the Hotel Balneari Vichy Catalán. The best adjective to describe the building is majestic. When you enter the premises, you will find in front of you an architectural marvel of modernism. If you like the outside, wait to see what's inside. The spa offers a wide variety of exclusive wellness treatments. You will leave there as good as new.And since today the day has started very focused on well-being, the next activity is a workshop on the medicinal and culinary uses of the indigenous plants of Cassà de la Selva. Did you know that sage helps soothe menstrual cramps? Or that mastic is a great anti-inflammatory? You will learn a lot about remedies and natural recipes.Day 10: The sweetness of Santa Coloma de FarnersEverything that starts well, ends well. The end of the route through the heart of the Costa Brava will be with a water circuit at the Magma Thermal Ludic Center. In Castanyet you can spend a day tasting honey, visiting an apiary, pairing different dishes with honey... The world of bees can be fascinating, and even more explained by professionals. As Albert Einstein said, the day the bees disappear, man will have four years left to live. We don't know if he got it right, but just in case, long live the bees!Next, you have two possibilities: a route of the ratafia to learn the secrets that this Catalan liqueur hides, or a visit to an authentic agricultural operation . With a bit of luck, you'll be able to taste a glass of milk fresh from the cow.Since we've promised you a sweet day, you'll say goodbye at Museum of the Galeta Trias in Santa Coloma de Farners. The museum shows the dedication of this family that, since 1908, has been making what are possibly the most famous biscuits in Catalonia. From the assorted box, which biscuit do you like best? I'll take the wafer!
