Escape to Costa Brava.
Disconnection between sea, nature, and coastal charm: it’s that moment when you dive into crystal-clear waters, discover a hidden cove while walking along the Camí de Ronda, or watch the sunset from the deck of a catamaran.

Garrotxa Weekend Escapes.
Volcanic nature, local gastronomy, and deep green silence.
Let yourself be seduced by La Garrotxa, a place where volcanic nature coexists with medieval villages straight out of a fairy tale. Its green landscapes, forest trails, and ancient volcanoes create the perfect setting to unwind this weekend. Among them all, three essential gems illuminate this territory:
Castellfollit de la Roca: a picturesque village suspended on a basalt cliff almost 50 m high and 1 km long, stunning from any angle.
Besalú: a journey back to the Middle Ages thanks to its iconic Romanesque bridge over the Fluvià River and an old town steeped in history.
Santa Pau: a setting protected by volcanic cones and forests. And a medieval corner where volcanoes and narrow streets converge.
The Volcanic Garrotxa Region.
Nature walks, lava landscapes and meaningful disconnection.
Start the day with a gentle but magical walk: climb up to the Santa Margarida volcano and descend to its crater, where a small chapel stands in the center as a guardian of silence… and, according to legend, as a plug that prevents future eruptions.
After your walk, sit down at the table to savor the most authentic flavors of the area: fesols de Santa Pau (beans), artisan sausages, country bread, and homemade desserts, all made with local products.
In the afternoon, let yourself be enveloped by the tranquility of La Fageda d’en Jordà, a unique beech forest in Spain that seems straight out of a dream. Its tall trees and crunchy leaf-covered ground inspired the poet Joan Maragall… and perhaps you too.
A complete experience of earth, fire, forest, and soul.
Pyrenees Escapes That Transform.
Majestic peaks, hiking routes and wellness in wild nature.
The Catalan Pyrenees are a natural gem of contrasts: deep valleys, crystal-clear rivers, high mountain lakes, and ancient forests. With peaks exceeding 3,000 m, such as the twins of the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park, this environment offers a multitude of ecosystems: from alpine pastures to lush birch forests, home to such emblematic animals as the bearded vulture, the chamois, and the capercaillie.
Featured routes:
Interpretive wildlife trails.
Trekking and hiking.
Family activities.
Guided birding.
For Those Who Seek What Truly Matters.
Quiet places, soulful experiences and authentic connections.
If you dream of sleeping in the mountains with nothing but the sky above you and the murmur of the forest, this experience is for you. A two-day journey where luxury is simplicity: walking through remote landscapes, dining under the moon, and waking up among the peaks.
A totally minimalist experience that adapts to your pace and preferences, with everything you need to rest well and continue the route the next day. We choose locations where camping is permitted, taking care of every detail so that our footprint is minimal and the memories are immense.
An opportunity to reconnect with the essentials, far from the noise. Ready?
Tarragona.
Tarragona is the perfect getaway for those looking to combine culture, tranquility, and the sea. Its Roman ruins, declared a World Heritage Site, its fine sandy beaches and calm waters, and its proximity to some of the best wineries in southern Catalonia, create the ideal balance between activity and relaxation.
Here, history permeates every corner of the old town, while life flows slowly between strolls along the Balcón del Mediterráneo, sunsets from Miracle Beach, and dinners on terraces with a taste of the sea.
