Hi everyone,
Planning a trip to Catalonia in mid-May and would love feedback on the overall flow and pacing of this itinerary. I recognize a week is short but want to make the most of it. We are morning people who do not check bags so are okay with the early start on departure day.
Does this look reasonable? Any obvious red flags or suggestions for optimizing the route/timing? We do have three main questions:
- Is Day 6 too ambitious?
- Should we spend night of Day 8 in Girona to be closer to airport? Or leave as Begur.
- We pack light and don't mind managing logistics but is this hotel-hopping generally feasible?
Thanks in advance!
