Costa Brava & Empordà, Catalonia, Spain

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

The Costa Brava is a rugged stretch of coastline in northeastern Catalonia, running from Blanes north to the French border, and is one of Spain's most celebrated coastal regions. It's known for its dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, and charming whitewashed fishing villages like Cadaqués, Begur, and Tossa de Mar. Inland, the Empordà region adds a rich cultural and gastronomic dimension — rolling vineyards, medieval towns such as Peratallada and Pals, and the legendary elBulli legacy that cemented the area's reputation for world-class cuisine. Travellers come for sailing, snorkelling, coastal hiking along the GR-92, wine and food experiences, and a more authentic alternative to the crowded Spanish coasts further south.

Catalan Classic Walk — self-launched

This is the self-launched, DIY version of Exodus' "Catalan Classic Walk" — a relaxed 5-day walking trip along the rugged Costa Brava coastline and through the lush Empordà countryside of Catalonia. Instead of booked hotels with luggage transfers, you'll base yourself in budget guesthouses and hostels, follow the clearly waymarked coastal and forest trails at your own pace, and link up the same medieval villages — Peratallada, Pals and Begur — using local buses and your own two feet. Expect turquoise coves, cork and pine forests, 5,000-year-old dolmens, swimming stops and sun-drenched fishing ports, all at a fraction of the guided price.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Costa Brava & Empordà, Catalonia, Spain yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
