Review of Barcelona’s Costa Brava hike with snorkeling, safe cliff jumps, coastal scenery, local tapas, transport, and practical tips.
“This was the best day ever! My friend and I did this trip mid March. The weather ended up being in our favor, so it was the perfect day for walking and exploring. Since it was still only 58 degrees outside, we didn’t get to swim, snorkel, or cliff jump, but it was still such a magical experience. Costa Brava is beautiful and I highly recommend this tour to anyone. JB was our tour guide and he was the best!”
