Where to stay
The Costa Meresme is the stretch of coastline between Barcelona and Tossa de Mar comprising the two resorts of Santa Susannah and Malgrat de Mar. The three star Hotel Sorra Daurada is typical of the hotels we use and is located in Malgrat on the beach front approximately one hour from Barcelona and Girona. It offers great facilities including swimming pool and bar and students are in 3-4 bedded rooms with ensuite bathroom.
Festival Ideas
The Costa Brava is full of festivals in which our groups can participate. These include the prestigious festival of Empuries, where high quality ensembles are invited to perform.
Concerts
The venues on the Costa Brava tend to be outdoor ones such as the main squares in the medieval town of Peratallada and the beautiful village of Empuries. In Barcelona, we have excellent relationships with several important churches, including the magnificent Cathedral. You can normally perform either as part of the Mass or in concert. Other interesting venues include the lighthouse in Tossa de Mar, the Ciutadella in Roses and the monastery of Besalu.
