### **LESMON EVENTS: Costa Brava Sailing Day — End of Summer Celebration** A full day in the wild, turquoise waters of the Costa Brava. Just us — **LGBTQ+ women**. We'll meet in Barcelona and leave the city behind together, all aboard our private bus, heading north to where the Mediterranean turns crystal clear, shimmering in shades of blue and turquoise. These waters have a history. The first to sail them were the ancient Greeks, who left anchors, amphorae, pottery, and coins on the seabed. Today, these same waters are protected as a Mediterranean Natural Heritage site — one of the region's most biodiverse and best-preserved marine reserves. The coastline offers one of the most spectacular, wild, and untouched landscapes of the Costa Brava, protected by the Montgrí Natural Park, the Medes Islands, and the Baix Ter. First stop: **Espai Medes**, the Marine Interpretation Center of the Montgrí Natural Park. From there, we'll board our traditional wooden llaüt and set sail. Our captain is a woman. Just like all of us. **Our boat:** a classic wooden vessel, one of a kind, full of history and character. Its spacious layout lets you move around comfortably and enjoy different spots on board: a large shaded area with benches and lounging space, perfect for the sunniest hours; a recently renovated upper deck with an exclusive lounge area and stunning views; and a wide, roomy stern with a cozy puff-seating area. The boat has an onboard restroom and a large, safe swim platform with two ladders — ideal for swimming in calm coves and quiet waters. Four hours of pure Mediterranean magic: sun on deck, the LESMON playlist setting the perfect mood. We'll sail along the coast and drop anchor in one of the world's hidden corners. Swim. Snorkel. Try paddleboarding. Or simply let go and soak it all in. Brunch on board, new connections, laughter, music, dancing. Feel completely yourself, surrounded by other **lesbian**, **bisexual**, **trans woman**, and **queer women**. Back on land, the afternoon is yours. Explore the town, hit the beach, or go shopping. Find a sunny terrace and treat yourself to a traditional sparkling wine drink. At the agreed time, we'll regroup and head back to Barcelona, full of memories, new friendships, sea breeze, and that special glow only a day at sea can give you. 📍 *This experience is designed for **LGBTQ+ women** (lesbian, bisexual, trans woman, and queer). Come alone, leave with new friends — here, you never have to explain who you are.* **Price includes:** ✔️ Private round-trip bus ✔️ Entrance to Espai Medes ✔️ Private sailing aboard a traditional llaüt ✔️ Brunch and refreshments on board ✔️ Snorkel gear (mask and snorkel) ✔️ Paddleboards (shared use) **Not included:** ✖️ Alcoholic beverages ✖️ Food and extras in town (free afternoon) ✖️ Any other unspecified extras **What to bring:** 🩱 Swimsuit · 🧺 Towel · ☀️ Sunscreen · 🕶️ Sunglasses · 🧢 Hat or cap *Prone to seasickness?

Solo nosotras, **mujeres LGBTQ+**. Nos reunimos en Barcelona y dejamos la ciudad atrás juntas, todas a bordo de nuestro autobús privado, rumbo al norte, donde el Mediterráneo se vuelve cristalino y brilla en tonos azules y turquesas. Estas aguas tienen historia. Las primeras en navegarlas fueron las antiguas civilizaciones griegas, que dejaron anclas, ánforas, cerámica y monedas en el fondo marino. Hoy, esas mismas aguas son Patrimonio Natural del Mediterráneo, una de sus reservas marinas con mayor biodiversidad y mejor conservadas. El litoral ofrece uno de los paisajes más espectaculares, salvajes e intactos de la Costa Brava, protegido por el Parque Natural del Montgrí, las Islas Medes y el Baix Ter. Primera parada: **Espai Medes**, el Centro de Interpretación Marina del Parque Natural del Montgrí
