Day 5 to 6 | THE MEDITERRANEAN LINKS

Seaside Links & Sunset Terraces

For golfers, head to a nearby coastal course where the fairways border the beach and the course layout adapts beautifully to accommodate a certain skill level. Non golfers will enjoy a private architectural photography walk led by a local artist. Gather on a private rooftop terrace in the Gothic Quarter for Catalan wines and slow conversation.
