Bargain of the day: Catalonia
Where: Spain's Catalonia
When: September-November departures
I call $1,695 plus airfare a sensible price for 15 days of hiking, biking and rafting in Spain's Catalonia region. Canada's tremendously popular GAP Adventures (booked mainly by Americans) offers a variety of travel styles, from the more tour-like Comfort and Original vacations to the gnarlier Active and Overland trips. Drawbacks: the quoted prices are not as inclusive as some others (there are lots of on-the-ground costs in the fine print, often including most meals).
