Join Diane Vitoria, owner of The Yoga House Brandon, for 5 nights / 6 days in Catalunya’s Costa Brava, a majestic stretch of Spain’s Mediterranean coastline, which stretches from the France-Spain border, south towards Barcelona. Visitors love the region for its picturesque Medieval-era towns, beautiful rolling hills, and gorgeous beaches, and is the perfect place to retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city!

During this itinerary, we will spend time exploring the beautiful coastline, both directly below the retreat center, and on a guided hike on the nearby coast. We’ll get beautiful views from up high on cliffs, of the beautiful blue sea water. We’ll take our shoes off and cross soft, sandy beaches. We’ll end with a chilled glass of wine and some delicious Spanish tapas at a seaside cafe!

Speaking of wine, the region has its own Denomination of Origin, and several wonderful wineries. Included is an afternoon visiting a local wine cellar, with lite bites, and an educational tour, followed by a visit to Pals, a meticulously restored Medieval maze of streets, shops, and ruins. Wine isn’t all we’ll learn about however! The great Spanish painter, Salvador Dali, was a Costa Brava local. We will spend a day visiting his famous museum in Figures, and exploring this Spanish city.

Of course, we also leave ample free time to simply sit by the pool, read a book, get a massage, visit a nearby village, or practice yoga with Diane in our gorgeous studio. Diane has over 2000 hours of teaching experience and is a certified sound healer as well as Reiki Master. She will offer a different feel good practice each morning over looking the beautiful scenery to leave you feeling energized and grateful for your exciting day ahead. 

The town of Begur is a mere 30 minute walk (or 10 minute drive) from the retreat property, and features wonderful little shops, restaurants, and ruins of a Medieval Castle. Fancy a beach day? There are two gorgeous ones within a 30 minute walk of our villa.

Arrival Day: Saturday, April 15th

Please plan to land by 11am on Saturday, April 15th into Barcelona (BCN) Airport. We will schedule one included group transfer from the airport to our villa in Begur (about a 1.5 hour drive), and arrive in time for an afternoon meal.

Please note that you will need to depart from the United States on the evening of Friday, April 14th, as all flights heading over to Spain are typically overnight flights.

Note: If you plan to arrive a few days early to spend extra time in Barcelona prior to the retreat starting, that is great and encouraged, and we will make one stop at the airport and one stop in Barcelona center before heading to Begur.

Departure Day: Thursday, April 20th

Please do NOT book flights that depart before 12pm on Thursday, April 20th, as we will be traveling about 1.5 hours from our villa in Begur to the airport that morning.

We will plan to make one stop at the airport, and then one stop in the city center for anyone staying on and exploring Barcelona post retreat. 

If you are spending extra time in Barcelona, we recommend booking hotels / AirBnbs in the El Born and Gothic Quarter neighborhoods, as they are great, safe areas and very central to all of the local attractions.

Once you have booked your flights, please forward your flight confirmation email to info@solseedretreats.com.
