About Catalonia

Catalonia is a region in North East Spain, which is divided into four main provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. Often described as one of the most naturally beautiful parts of Europe, Catalonia is bordered by the Alpine peaks and ski resorts of the North, the fruit growing countryside of Aragon to the West, the Valencian municipalities to the South, and by 580km of coastline and the Mediterranean Sea to the East.

The Capital of Catalonia is Barcelona, one of the world’s leading tourist, economic and cultural centres and home to the architectural wonders of Gaudi. A giant in European Tourism, Barcelona boasts a vast array of parks, museums, monuments and beaches.

To the North lies the province of Girona and the renowned Costa Brava coastline. Here you will fine a rugged coastline of crystal waters and excellent beaches.

The province of Tarragona to the South is rich with historical splendours including medieval walls and the remains of a Roman aqueduct. It is also home to the spectacular Costa Daurada coastline and the main holiday resort of Salou.

CIGF 2012 was based in Platja d’Aro, a lively seaside town in the Costa Brava that has been enjoyed by golfing tourists for many years.

We recently used Barcelona Golf Travel for a golf trip, playing two fantastic courses, and I couldn’t fault the service from start to finish. The whole trip was organised perfectly. All of our transfers — from the airport to the golf courses, between locations, and back to the airport — were arranged seamlessly and ran exactly as planned. The best part was how easy they made it for us. All I had to do was tell them which golf courses we wanted to play, the dates and times, and our flight details. They took care of everything else. The communication, organisation and attention to detail were excellent, making the whole trip completely stress-free. We could simply concentrate on enjoying the golf and Barcelona. I would have no hesitation in recommending Barcelona Golf Travel to anyone planning a golf trip to Barcelona. We’ll definitely be using them again for our next golf trip!

Just back from a great trip to the Costa Brava. Four rounds with 3 friends over four days. The hotel was great, on the beach, a very short walk to restaurants etc. Perfect. The golf courses were all within easy reach and all in great condition. In summary , Dani organized a great trip for us and in particular, was really prompt in replying to any questions or clarifications needed. Top class , would highly recommend and we are already talking about our next trip !

I recently went to Cambrils in Spain with a group of friends to play golf, there were eleven of us in total. Our trip was organised by Barcelona Golf which is run and owned by Ian Denham. I have to say that everything was organised perfectly from start to finish. Hotel Sol Port Cambrils, Golf courses, transfers etc., Ian even went as far as coming to meet us at one of the courses. All the group were totally happy and we had a wonderful golfing holiday. I have travelled with Ian and Barcelona golf on other occasions and each time we couldn’t but say the the very best. I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking of and planning a golfing trip to Spain
