The bucket-list things to do — and the private, expert-led way to do each.
Here’s the bucket list for your day ashore: the most extraordinary thing to do at each stop, and the private, small-group, or expert-led way to make it yours — your own pace, real access, none of the crowd.
Glide by private boat through Spain's easternmost cape, a UNESCO-protected wilderness of sculpted rock, hidden coves, and crystalline waters. This is the Costa Brava at its most raw and magnificent — inaccessible by road, utterly unspoiled.
Wind up the vertiginous corniche road to Cadaqués — the whitewashed village Picasso, Duchamp, and Dalí all called home — then step inside the surrealist master's actual residence at Portlligat. This is one of Europe's most intimate artist-house experiences.
Explore the world's largest surrealist object — Dalí's own Theatre-Museum in Figueres — with a private art expert, before the public crowds arrive. The Mae West Room, the Rainy Cadillac, and the crypt where Dalí himself is buried await.
Thunder along the headlands and pine-scented tracks framing the Bay of Roses on a quad bike, with a live guide leading a group capped at just 8. One of the Mediterranean's most beautiful bays, seen the exhilarating way.
The Costa Brava is the cradle of avant-garde Spanish cuisine. A private gastronome guide leads you through Roses' market, to artisan anchovy producers, and to a creative tasting lunch at one of the region's Michelin-acknowledged tables.
Walk the only site in the world where a Greek colony and a Roman city were built side by side — Empúries, a 2,600-year-old living ruin on the sea's edge. With a private archaeologist guide, the mosaic floors, agora, and forum become vivid, human stories.
