- Join us as we showcase the Costa Brava region of Spain in this travel guide for food lovers as part of #EuroFoodTrip.
We started off our journey spending the night in Cadaqués waking up the following morning to go on a sailing trip along the Cap de Creus Natural Park on a traditional boat. We had the opportunity to bask in the sun and eat plenty of local seafood including Fideuà (noodles with seafood) and mussels with Bizcochos Borrachos (drunken Spanish sponge cake) for dessert. In the afternoon we visited La Vinyeta Cellar vineyard to harvest grapes by hand and then crush them with our feet. Afterwards we enjoyed a wine tasting paired with cheese. That evening we did a cooking workshop and a gin and tonic workshop and tasting with Gin Nut staying overnight at La Vall de Bianya.
The following morning had us waking up before the crack of dawn to go on a hot air balloon ride over la Garrotxa where we had a fantastic view of the Pyrenees mountain range. We then transferred to Girona where we had lunch at Celler de Can Roca considered to be the 2nd best restaurant in the world. After relaxing for a bit we took a guided city tour of Girona exploring its wonderful architecture, sampling some gelato and picking out Game of Thrones locations. Our final meal on this trip featured traditional Catalan food at Can Xifra restaurant where I got to drink wine out of a porró and had the best rum and raisin ice cream I've ever tasted in my whole life.

Costa Brava Travel Guide for Food Lovers (Cadaqués, La Vall de Bianya, Pyrenees & Girona) in Spain Travel Food Video Transcript:
So hey guys, this week we are in Costa Brava, Spain and we're going to be taking you on a bit of a food adventure. Can't wait to eat and travel.
So it is a beautiful day out. We have blue skies and I think that calls for a sailing trip.
So lunch is served and we are having Fideuà on the boat so have a look here. This is a seafood dish and it is made with pasta that is cooked in fish juice and we've also got some prawns.
So next up we're at La Vinyeta and this is a winery and a vineyard so we're going to be drinking some wine and doing a little tour.
So Sam has found a new career here in Costa Brava picking grapes
So I'm going to be stomping some grapes this afternoon in order to do so I need my traditional Catalan hat, Catalan scarf. Now I'm ready to do this and we're going barefoot.
So Sam tell us what are you about to drink? I'm trying the grapes that you stepped on. With my bare feet.
Well, I can't think of a better way to finish off this vineyard tour than with wine, cheese and cold cuts
So tonight we are spending the night in a place called la Ferreria and this hotel is like traveling back in time.
We're taking a hot air balloon ride and it should be amazing. Like this is something we've never done and we really want to try it out. Yeah, so we're going to be flying over the Pyrenees mountains and it should be spectacular. Let's go.
So this afternoon we're doing a bit of a taste test at el Celler de Can Roca and this is the second highest rated restaurant in the whole world. It should be delicious.
So next up we're going to start the appetizer and this is going to take us a journey around the world.
And there is the world.
So this afternoon we're going to do a walking tour of Girona and it looks beautiful. It looks really colorful but first up we need to get ice cream.
Okay, so we finally got our ice cream and apparently there is some kind of Game of Thrones reference here. It is called Ma Daurada and that means the golden hand.
So this bridge was built by Monsieur Eiffel himself before the Eiffel Tower ever came to be.
So that is a wrap from beautiful Costa Brava. I have to say we ate like Kings and Queens while we were here. Yeah, and we got a nice taste of the region in terms of all of the travel activities and things you can do as well. Definitely somewhere we'd like to come back and explore more in-depth. Yeah, so we hope you enjoyed this video and if you have any questions about travel in Costa Brava, Spain just leave them in the comments below. See you next time.
This is part of our Travel in Costa Brava, Spain video series showcasing Spanish food, Spanish culture and Spanish cuisine.

Hi Samuel and Audrey, I've loved your videos for years, going to Spain with my dad in May and I've just seen your lovely videos from there! And now I'm in a S&A Spanish travels loop. Just wanted to say your passion for travel is contagious and I hope you come back to Spain to show us more cool places, I think it's the most interesting country EVER. Cheers!
holy range of experiences. I was in Barcelona in the 90's but never made it to other regions.
now wishing I could go back again sometime
Thank you! Yeah, it would definitely be worth coming back to explore Costa Brava. We just got a taste but we'd like to experience more ourselves.
If you go back, explore Val d'Aran. It's a remote region in Catalonia but excellent food and beautiful mountains, waterfalls, etc. They speak their own language called Aranese. Absolutely stunning.
I love fideuà
How beautiful it looks there!
Thank you! We had a wonderful time.
I love Spain dearly, so glad I live in Europe, so we could visit Spain whenever we want to.
In fact, we are in Costa Brava for a week already, and...right now, I am in Girona.
Girona is so awsome too.
Yesterday we did the wall walk, zo funny 😄😄😄 and beautiful.
Love you guys, tnx for the vid.
That is so cool to hear! Ah, Girona is awesome. Such a nice region to explore :)
Everything looks amazing & full of fun...tq for sharing😃
Thank you! It is a great region for slow travel and food :)
Really nice video and the balloon ride is great to see from the ground for me! lol Really liked the longer video and thanks for sharing! Looking forward to seeing you in the next one,stay safe & see you in the next one!!
Thank you very much! I think we'll try making longer videos more often :) The next one will be from Italy.
Fabulous!
Thank you! :)
My favorite so far!
Thank you very much!
Your videos are getting better! The food in Spain looks great!! Keep it up guys 😘
Thank you very much! The food is incredible in Spain. I definitely put on some pounds eating in Costa Brava ;)
This is Catalonia. Girona province is home to some of the world's greatest chefs such as Ferran Adria, Roca brothers, etc. El Bulli restaurant is world renowned but closed unfortunately.
+Arch Yeomans, El Bulli closed as restaurant but remain open as think-tank for creative cuisine and gastronomy centre.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ElBulli
Looks like an amazing trip! And all the food looked fantastic!!
Thank you! It was an amazing but brief trip. We'd really like to go back again soon!
oooh this is one of my all time favorite areas of Costa Brava! You hit all the great spots!
as for G.O.T... say whaaaa??? please tell me you've caught up on your Game Of Thrones binging since this 11:47 tasting ?
Thank you! We just loved it!
Beautiful!
Thank you! :)
Looks like such an incredible trip and need to get to those areas soon!
Thanks buddy! You'd like it. Good food and warm weather :)
BEST day/video EVER!!! I was going to be jealous of your time but then I chose to be happy for you and happy that you shared this with us. I would probably not stomp grapes myself or fly in a hot air balloon due to my phobias/fear of that but I enjoyed it through you...safe here on the ground! :D Thanks for sharing it with us!
Thank you very much! I'm (Sam) especially afraid of heights and I almost didn't get on that balloon but I'm sure glad I did in the end as it was not turbulent in the air at all and the views were incredible.
NICE! Glad you were able to do that considering your fear. It's good to face that fear once in awhile if you want to get over it. I really appreciate the comments back. I wish the two of you very happy/safe travels and hope your channel gets super popular. My husband and I are always saying how people don't managing their channels the right way to keep loyal viewers and it's clear you guys are going to do well in time. You check most of the boxes for foodie/travel info and for being friendly and generous in your responses in the comment section. Continued and increased success.
Amazing!! You are couple goals!!😍💖
Thank you very much!
this is one of the best videos yet wow i envy you wish i could go there looks like an awsome place
Thank you very much! I think the laid back pace in Costa Brava combined with the great food is what really makes worth visiting.
Girona is the real Catalonia most people miss when they go to Barcelona and stay with the tourist hordes. Tarragona is also impressive.
I asked you from couple of weeks about if you can create long videos, and you made it! Thanks so much Samuel & Audrey, From Egypt with my love.
Thank you very much! We're enjoying the longer format as well. Really glad you liked it :)
Hola chicos!!!! Gracias por este hermoso video! Podrían compartir el itinerario! Queremos ir exactamente a esos sitios ( el viñedo, el barco,etc) mil gracias.besos a los dos!
Muchas gracias Vincent!
cool☺
Thank you Jessica! :)
thank you for sharing your experiences. :) wish i could travel the world too, maybe someday. :)
Thank you! I hope you can soon as well. Where would you like to go first?
Samuel & Audrey I would love to visit Japan or Korea first. I have been fascinated with the Japanese culture and their innovations as well as Animé since I was in my teens. Then I got hooked with K-Pop and K-Dramas in High school. But I really want to try authentic Japanese and Korean cuisines, street food, and candies. 😀
Game of Thrones was filmed in Girona proper and in surrounding areas of the province. If you went to Girona cathedral then scenes in season 6 of GoT will look quite familiar.
뷰티풀 시티 ,포도주 맛있겠네요 lol
대단히 감사합니다! 우리가 정말 코스타 브라바을 사랑하고, 음식과 와인이 우수합니다.
Me hace recordar a la escena final de Identidad Desconocida.
Jaja, me encanta esa pelicula! A ser continuado... ;)
As always enjoying your videos, you guys are leaving my dream life. How do you do all the traveling?
Thank you very much! We do freelance work as photographers and writers :)
great Video..which tour company do you use for the sailing trip in Cadques?
The golden hand, in Game of thrones Jamie lannister's hand got chopped off by some bad guys, after they cut off his hand the hand was put on a rope and Jamie had to carry his hand dangling on his chest, after returning back to Kings landing, Cersei had him made a golden hand as a prosthetic device.
Ah, thanks for the explanation. We really need to watch that series one of these days. We're heard so many good things about it :)
Yeah it is a fantastic tv show, although when the first season came out and i watched the first episode i stopped watching it i figured it was some sort of horror show but that is only a small part of it and i figured that Jamie Lannister was some sort of villain but he has grown on me alot and is now one of my favorite characters, that's the great thing of game of thrones the characters have so many layers its not always black or white. When you watch the show just don't get to attached to the characters alot of them will die lol.
In Game of Thrones, one of the characters gets his hand cut off and gets a gold hand as a gift to replace it.
Ah, that totally makes sense! Well, we ate that gold hand...haha
Season 6. Most scenes were in Girona province, some in Pensacola near Castellon.
+Arch Yeomans, Peñíscola near Castellón. :)
fideua is not the same as paella....you missed the Banyuls wine and so famous Collioure
Oh, thanks for letting us know. I hope we can try the Banyul wine next time :)
What the hell?! Where is the rest of the meal you started at 11:00 ? No comments? Unbelievable!!!
Our bad.
I appreciate your apology, but really PLEASE include information about the meal when you go to a good place. I don't think anyone is interested in how a hot dog or ice cream tasted, but if you are in a high end restaurant, DETAILS PLEASE!
Did you wash your feet?
I don't think they did in that past.
Yes, we did :) It was a fun experience.
I want your life. You are permanently travelling. How do you do it?
We do a lot of freelance work in terms of travel writing and photography.
I wish you guys would spend a little more time on the food , describe what you're eating.
Thanks for the suggestion. That's a really good idea :)
yuck, how can you drink that juice, disgusting
LOL!
