Question
Hi Victor!
There are 8 of us driving in and outside Barcelona. Because there are 8 of us traveling, the cost of renting the apartment in Barcelona is exorbitant. I was thinking of staying in Barcelona for 2 days, and then driving outside Catalunia or the countryside to see more of Spain. What can we do for 5 days near Barcelona? Please advise. Thank you.
Answer
Hello Jona
Near Barcelona to the north you have Costa Brava with Girona and some nice towns to visit in the coast and inland.
To the south you have Stiges, Tarragona and the touristic area of Costa Dorada with Salou being the main city.
For both places you'll find lots of hotels/hostals to stay with wide range of prices, probably some more offer in Salou area.
I think Tarragona is more interesting and the Costa Brava have nicer landscapes and towns.
