Mediterranean Express: Rivieras & Railroads

Journey from Rome to Barcelona by public transport and a short flight, taking in Mediterranean rivieras, coastal hikes, and vibrant nights with a small 18-to-Thirtysomethings group. Expect simple, centrally located stays chosen for character and cleanliness, mixing hotels, some hostels, and private rooms in local households. All accommodation is multi-share (typically 4–6), often with shared bathrooms; occasional dorms possible. Most places lack in-room air-conditioning; fans are commonly provided. Rooming requests aren’t available.
