If you follow Icono's path a little towards France you can have a good time at an area called L'empurdan. It envelops the Golfo de Roses and it is one of my favorite places on earth. Mix of mountain, farmland, fisherman's coast and beach. The Dali museum in Figueras or his house in Cadaquesh. There's a jewel of a hotel by the beach in Empuries right next to the oldest Greek settlement in Spain. Due to historic consideration it is the only hotel on that beach. Great food too. About 2 hours drive from Barcelona. I grew up between Madrid and Barcelona and spend a lot of my off-time in this area.
