If you have time, there are a number of day trips worth pursuing. You can pay a visit to the monastery of Montserrat with its venerated statue of the Virgin and remote hiking paths; laze or party in the chic seaside resort of Sitges; ponder on the extensive Roman ruins in Tarragona, the ‘balcony of the Mediterranean’; explore the old Jewish quarter of the beautiful city of Gerona, or check out Dali’s surreal creations in his museum in Figueres.
