Little Boats of Catalonia
We love...
Starting each morning with a stroll along Roses' palm-lined promenade, listening to the sound of the sea.
A regional capital packed with architectural treasures. Pretty, white-washed towns nestled between bright blue sea and lush green mountains. There’s a lot to draw you to Catalonia, and lots to draw you back. On our Catalonia tours we'll base ourselves in the relaxed beach town of Roses. Enjoying several boat rides, we explore this fiercely proud region of Spain, including the Empuriabrava Canal and beautiful Besalú. And since it’s so close, we hop over the border to France to cruise the impressively engineered Canal du Midi.

Day 2 - Cadaqués
We start the day with a relaxing cruise along the coast to Cadaqués. Our journey takes us alongside spectacular cliffs speckled with caves and vegetation. We enjoy a tour of this small, white-chalked fishing town, flanked by mountains. Many artists have been drawn here by its bohemian chic and wonderful landscape, including Dali, Picasso and Henri Matisse. The town is now an art lover’s paradise, with streets filled by art galleries and workshops. Spend some time at leisure in the town browsing the beautiful galleries or wander through the cobbled streets. Maybe walk up to the 16th-century Church of Santa María, with an impressive baroque altar and wonderful views over the rooftops of the town towards the sea. We return to Roses for an afternoon at leisure.

Day 3 - Canal du Midi, Béziers
France is little more than 30 miles from our base in Roses, so today we take this opportunity to cross the border and continue to Béziers for a boat ride along the popular Canal du Midi - a major engineering achievement at the time of its creation during the French Revolution. As you enjoy lunch on board, sit back with a glass of local wine and take in the views of medieval bridges, delightful villages and lovely countryside.
