What’s included
Itinerary
We meet at London St Pancras International and board the Eurostar to Paris in Standard Premier Class. In the French capital, we take our seats in First Class carriages for a journey through the heart of France to the Spanish town of Figueres. Here, we transfer by coach to our hotel which overlooks Canyelles Petites beach in the delightful town of Roses.
Located in the north-eastern area of the Costa Brava, a wild and rocky stretch of the Spanish coastline, our hotel offers a complimentary shuttle service into the centre of Roses, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds - the peace and quiet of our secluded location and the freedom and flexibility to visit Roses when you choose.
On arrival this evening, we sit down for a three-course dinner and look ahead to exploring this beautiful region.

We had our best holiday with you and have done this holiday twice. The hotel Albadraba is wonderfully situated, the food and staff exceptional. We can’t understand why you have dropped this hotel for next year. It was bad timing to do this while we were staying there. Very short-sighted of you.

The hotel, food and tour manager were brilliant. I asked for the final documents to be posted out to me and they were not. As my printer is playing up I had to get someone to print everything off for me. Please note not everyone relies on technology and going on holiday is supposed to get you away from it.

Very well paced tour,just the right amount of leisure time. Loved the hotel although not the easiest to get around if infirm, lots of steps and very steep to get to and from beach.Particularly enjoyed the vineyard visit and the optional trip to Girona.
