At about 3:45pm, we will return to the bus and head back to Barcelona via a different route.
This drive takes you through dramatic gorges, past verdant farming land, and alongside lakes and rivers, before the landscape levels out and the lush tones of green of the fields and the shining grey of the mountain rocks are replaced by the dusty orange and brown hues of this arid landscape.
You will stop enroute for a chance to stretch your legs and quench your thirst, before arriving back in town at about 7:30pm
6.45pm - The final leg of the journey takes you past the dramatic scenery of Montserrat. This iconic mountain stands out dramatically against the skyline as we begin our last part of the drive into Barcelona.
