It is also much easier to choose a destination and disconnect, since it is only for a couple of days. And every reason is a good opportunity to visit that place you haven\u2019t seen yet, or to visit a place again, because you want to discover more. Today, the team of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/\"><strong>ShBarcelona<\/strong><\/a> has a few recommendations for <strong>perfect getaways for Holy Week<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/semana-santa-catalonia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Semana Santa or Holy Week in Catalonia<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<link rel='stylesheet' id='jquery-style-css' href='https:\/\/scd01.bcnshop.com\/en\/widgets\/generate-css\/2631\/14329.css' type='text\/css' \/>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/scd01.bcnshop.com\/en\/widgets\/generate-js\/2631\/14329.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">How to relax during Holy Week<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_98156\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98156\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98156\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/landscape-430103_1920-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-98156\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo via Pixabay<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Catalonia is an autonomous community with a lot of diversity and many incredible places. From the breathtaking <strong>Costa Brava<\/strong> with its beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/nude-beaches-costa-brava\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>beaches<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0 the fresh water rivers passing through the volcanic area of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/explore-la-garrotxa\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>La Garrotxa<\/strong><\/a> with its lovely culinary offer, the charming <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/hotels-for-a-beautiful-getaway-in-la-cerdanya\/\"><strong>Cerdanya<\/strong><\/a> with more quiet places, to the wines that the Pened\u00e8s has to offer, the rural and typical landscape of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/discover-la-vall-daran\/\"><strong>Vall d&#8217;Aran<\/strong><\/a>, the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona, the delightful and warm beaches of the Costa Dorada, the Roman remnants of Tarragona, and the great variety of birds in the Ebro Delta. There is so much to see and do in Catalonia, the possibilities are endless. For example, you can spend a few days of your Holy Week in the Cerdanya. This region covers part of the provinces of <strong>Girona<\/strong> and <strong>Lleida<\/strong>, and the capital is the picturesque town of <strong>Puigcerd\u00e0<\/strong>. You can find some of the most popular ski slopes in this enclave, between mountains with its special valley climate, and tourism in winter is the main source of income. People from Barcelona also enjoy skiing here. Thanks to the Cad\u00ed tunnel, Vall d&#8217;Aran is quite close to Barcelona, which means you can reach the mountain range and the ski slopes from the Catalan capital in just over <strong>2 hours<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Related article:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/activities-spring-barcelona\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Activities to Welcome Spring<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_98158\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-98158\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-98158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/view-1551772_1920-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-98158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo via Pixabay<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The area of the <strong>Costa Brava<\/strong> is frequently visited by both national and international tourists. The different coastal villages are an ideal destination by itself and each have their own charm. If you want to go shopping after swimming in the most refreshing blue waters of the sea, for example, you can visit <strong>Platja d&#8217;Aro<\/strong>. This is a lovely, tourist village with shops, restaurants, cocktail bars and play areas for children. It is an ideal place for an unforgettable and enjoyable afternoon or evening. Platja d&#8217;Aro was a very fashionable town in the 80&#8217;s and 90&#8217;s, and although it has lost some of that glamour, it still has that special charm. The area of <strong>l&#8217;Empord\u00e0<\/strong> is also perfect for your getaway. This region in Girona is divided in the Baix Empord\u00e0 and the Alt Empord\u00e0, and you can tour some truly charming villages with renovated stone houses and a special atmosphere, that will be hard to forget. If you are looking for tranquility, history and excellent cuisine, any town in l&#8217;Empord\u00e0 will serve your purpose, and you will discover even so much more!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>What are your plans for Holy Week?<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"98154\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 150px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <strong class=\"kksr-score\">5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\/<\/span>\n        <strong>5<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">(<\/span>\n        <strong class=\"kksr-count\">1<\/strong>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">\n            vote        <\/span>\n        <span class=\"kksr-muted\">)<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traditionally the holidays during Holy Week are ideal for a getaway, but reasons may vary: the weather during these days is often better, so you can start to enjoy the days getting longer and warmer.
