We had a fantastic week in Catalonia! The hotels in Salou, Lleida, and Barcelona were awesome (especially the Parador in Lleida), but not the hotel in Lloret de Maret (Guitart Gold Central Park). It was a low-quality food and accommodations hotel mostly directly to Senior citizens, not to mention the terrible customer service we experienced. The itinerary could improve: the Barcelona day should be placed either at the beginning or the end of the tour, and the Costa Brava day could include little beautiful towns such as Tossa de Mar and Tiramiu (as we did). Overall it was a GREAT way to experience and get to know Catalonia outside of Barcelona.
