Your driving experience begins as you leave Barcelona behind and make your way toward the coastal mountains northeast of the city. After a warm-up stretch on the highway, the route dives into the winding roads of Massís de Cadiretes before descending into the seaside town of Tossa de Mar for a picturesque stop. The afternoon unfolds along dramatic clifftop roads overlooking turquoise waters, followed by a scenic run through the lower Pyrenees and rural valleys, ultimately delivering you to Peralada for a peaceful evening surrounded by vineyards and countryside.

Today’s loop reveals the very best of the Costa Brava, from rugged coastlines to charming fishing villages and scenic mountain backroads. Guests may choose a relaxed late start via a quick highway run or opt for a longer, more spirited morning route through quiet mountain passes. Both options lead to the French seaside town of Collioure for a memorable lunch break. The return leg winds along one of Europe’s most spectacular coastal stretches, with opportunities to stop at a lighthouse viewpoint and a local winery before settling back into Peralada for a second night.

Departing Peralada, the journey quickly rises into the Pyrenees for an unforgettable day of mountain-pass driving. Six distinct passes create a nearly nonstop progression of twisting climbs, sweeping ridgelines, and dramatic viewpoints, with recommended stops in Ripoll and a charming mountain village along the way. After lunch outside Puigcerdà, the route continues to the high peaks, crossing into Andorra via Coll de Pimorent before summiting the tour’s highest pass, Coll de Envalira. The descent leads directly into Soldeu, where the mountain scenery and alpine atmosphere set the stage for a remarkable evening.

The final driving day begins with a visit to the spectacular Roc del Quer overlook and an optional walk across the Tibeta Suspension Bridge before heading up and over the partly-paved Col de Cabús, a quiet and characterful mountain road. The route then follows the La Valira River out of Andorra before climbing two more rewarding passes en route to the brilliant blue La Baells Reservoir for a photo stop. Afterward, a smooth highway run leads back toward Barcelona, with an optional detour to the famous Santa Maria de Montserrat Abbey for those wishing to shorten the drive and maximize sightseeing.
