About this experience
The goal of this experience is to have breakfast in Spain and lunch in France without crossing any physical border! How does that sound?We will leave Bcn at 8:30 in our 7-seater van. First stop is Girona, famous for Game of Thrones. After a light breakfast and a leisurely stroll through the heart of the old town, we'll hop back in our minivan towards France. Before you know it we will enter France. Around lunchtime, we will arrive in Collioure, a village on the south coast of France with a population of about 2000 people. After a short exploration together, we will give you free time to have lunch and relax in front of the Mediterranean Sea. Around 4 o'clock we will return in the direction of Barcelona.
PLEASE NOTE: during the summer months, make sure you bring your swimwear and beach towel!
