Hello everyone! My husband and I will be flying in and out of Barcelona in June. The only thing we are certain about is that we will be staying in Barcelona the last leg of our trip for four days. We have about nine days before Barcelona and that is where we are stuck! We will be renting a car and want to do some exploring.
We have been looking into Costa Brava and the Girona area. We have made a (refundable) reservation for now in Parafrugell for four days... our plan (currently) is to have that as our home base but explore the coastline, hit the beaches, etc. Next, we were thinking about heading towards Girona and having that as our next home-base for 4-5 days to explore more of the inland cities/towns, as well as maybe check out some smaller towns nearing the Pyranees, maybe go hiking etc.
The reason we are thinking about sticking closer to this area is because we aren't thrilled about the thought of driving seven hours north to San Sebastian... but the more we think about it, the more we have the fear of missing out on the Basque area.
In your opinion, do you think it's worth the seven hour drive (to AND from) ir do you think it's not worth the hassle and stay put in the NE Spain instead like our current plan?
