COSTA BRAVA (Wild Coast)

The Costa Brava's 200 km of coastline are a mosaic of Mediterranean villages like L'Escala, Palamós and Sant Feliu de Guíxols, which await you with patient expectation, with their rooftops washed by the sun and their feet in the sand, draped in rocky outcroppings and green pines to meet the golden waters of the Mediterranean.

But don't think for a minute that the scenery, the climate, the sun and the light are the sum total of the leisure and entertainment possibilities offered up by this land.
If what you seek is more fun and entertainment, you will find beachside resorts like Empuriabrava, L'Estartit, Lloret de Mar, Platja d'Aro, Roses, Sant Antoni de Calonge, etc. with clean, crystal-clear, pollution-free waters

The mar i muntanya cuisine, a sublime combination of the fruits of the sea with the meats and vegetables of the mountains and plains, is a delight. Specialities like the suquet de peix (fish stew), cuttlefish and peas, chicken with crayfish, meatballs with prawns, or rice casserole will fill your album of mementoes, pictures which will come fondly back to mind when reminiscing about your holidays.

The natural conditions of Girona offer us an extensive and rich variety of landscapes, from majestic mountains and rolling hills to beautiful plains, alongside volcanic moonscapes and large lake-dotted areas, not to mention the coast, which in many places preserves its breathtaking scenic beauty.

Were we to wax poetic, we would now tell you about the picturesque coastal towns and fishermen's havens like Cadaqués, the charm and scenery of which captivated the maestro Salvador Dalí himself, or like Calella de Palafrugell, whose winding streets and coves echo the sounds of the "Habaneras" that, beyond the indispensable annual festival, bring back the reminiscences and longings of the sailors who emigrated to Cuba.

If you left your decision to us, we would certainly recommend that you visit the Cap de Creus Natural Park, whose landscape suggests what the earth must have been like in its origins, or the marshes of the Aiguamolls de I'Empordà, the Medes islands (in L'Estartit) and the coves and inlets of Begur and Palafrugell, and the citadel of Roses, the Greek and Roman ruins of Empúries (in L'Escala) or the medieval villages of Pals and Peratallada, and the Iberian remains of Ullastret, the old town of Tossa de Mar and the beautiful botanical gardens of Blanes and Lloret de Mar.. What we're getting at, in a nutshell, is that at the Costa Brava, you can probably enjoy the biggest concentration of enchanting sights and experiences in the shortest possible distance
