The Costa Brava region has retained its authentic Spanish character and its location, just north of Barcelona, means the city sights are just a short journey away. Visit the famous Sagrada Familia; enjoy a fun filled day at a local water park and most importantly enjoy performing in exciting and memorable venues!
Your group will have the opprtunity to perform at a variety of venues. Choirs can sing at the Montserrat Monestary, the Girona cathedral and perform afternoon mass at the Barcelona cathedral. Less formal performances can be held in the town squares of Lloret de Mar, Roda de Bara and Peratallada where locals are very friendly and supportive.
