CREA IL TUO VIAGGIOCatalonia: Pyrenees & Costa Brava 2021
The Costa Brava, in Catalonia, is one of the places in the Mediterranean where the land meets the sea with truly spectacular contrasts: rocky spurs, forest, sandy basins and the intense blue of the sparkling sea. From the top of the Pyrenees we will be able to admire these contrasts, reaching peaks up to 2800 meters, crossing gorges and sometimes lunar landscapes.
