Things to do in Catalonia: experiences to share as a couple

Jardí Botànic Marimurtra – Blanes

At the Jardí Botànic Marimurtra, discover plants from around the world along paths and terraces above the sea. The quiet corners and sweeping coastal views make this a lovely place to stroll and chat.

Teatre-Museu Dalí – Figueres

Aiguamolls de l’Empordà – Alt Empordà

Paths and viewpoints lead through wetlands, lagoons and meadows in the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park. Look out for birds and see how the plain opens out towards the horizon.

Girona old town

In Girona’s old town, narrow lanes and squares lead past Romanesque and medieval landmarks. A walk along the old city wall and a café break make a lovely combination.
