Tourist Information about the Costa Brava - Helping you choose the perfect holiday in Spain

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. The uniqueness of this moving and sudden encounter between mountain and sea is what led the journalist Ferran Agulló to define this coast as the COSTA BRAVA, the "Wild Coast". 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. We have worked hard to offer you a panoply of activities capable of effacing even the smallest trace of stress or boredom from your spirit. On bike or on foot, by car or even on horseback, through the skies, by the footpaths or along the cove-dotted coastline, the Costa Brava is an unsurpassable setting for your strolls or excursions. If nautical sports or golf are more to your liking, we also offer well-groomed and tended facilities and infrastructures. And 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. where you can slake your heart's thirst until the sunset of your dreams. Blue is the colour of the sky and the sea, and it's the colour of the flags granted each year by the European Environmental Education Foundation, synonymous with clean, crystal-clear, pollution-free waters. The flags are proof of the environmental quality of the water and sands of our coastline's beaches.

There is one thing you should never pass up: the bounty of restaurants, the so-called mar i muntanya cuisine, a sublime combination of the fruits of the sea with the meats and vegetables of the mountains and plains. 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 mountainous region of Girona stretches in an east-west direction from the Mediterranean up to the Cadí-Moixeró Natural Park. Its proximity to the Mediterranean is what provides such a benign clime to this part of the Pyrenees. From Cap de Creus westward, the winter snows mark the main points along our route: the Alpine ski areas of Vallter, in Setcases, or Núria, situated next to the monastery of the same name, or Masella and La Molina, together with the cross-country ski area of Guils Fontanera, today make up one of the most alluring winter sports proposals that Southern Europe has to offer. Beneath these natural skyscrapers, the territory spreads out like an enormous vegetal stain towards the Pre-Pyrenees areas which offer such notable treasures as the Garrotxa Volcanic Area (with its spectacular beech forest known as Fageda d'en Jordà), Beget, Oix, Besalú, Santa Pau... It would be unreasonable to overfill this introduction with the great number of villages, towns and sites that can be sited, but we would not want you to turn the page without us getting the chance to recommend, once again, one of the area's most cherished treasures: its cuisine. There are so many restaurants where cooking has achieved an art form that you will not have to go out of your way or sacrifice other activities to enjoy the delicious local fare. Whether you're in the Cerdanya a region or in the Camprodon valley, or visiting Núria valley, enchanted by the unique scenery that unfolds before you as you climb the miraculous layout of the only rack railway in Spain.

Weather in the Costa Brava

 Costa Brava has a climate that’s perfect for holidays. Along the coastline, the region usually enjoys year-round bright, sunny and mild weather with an average yearly temp of 16 degrees centigrade. It’s protected by the Pyrenees Mountains in the north and the warm Mediterranean to the east. A warm jet stream helps keep the region pleasantly bright and mild during the winter. Sunbathing in November and February is not uncommon. In the height of summer, temperatures are warm but cool breezes off the sea keep the resorts comfortable.

Golf in the Costa Brava

In the last decade the Costa Brava has become host to ten excellent golf courses four of which are some of the best in Europe. Barcelona must surely rank as one of the most fascinating cities on the planet with its mind-blowing Gaudi architecture, Pablo Picasso museum, Olympic village and world-famous La Rambla boulevard. The golf is equally so with Caldes International Golf Courses, Club de Golf Llavaneras, Club de Golf Osona Montanya and Club de Golf Vallromanes all set in the magnificent green surroundings and offering a world class standard of facilities, views, and golfing pleasure. Blanes is located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Brava. The resort is popular with Spanish holidaymakers and also attracts international tourists due to its location just 60 kilometres north of Barcelona airport. It's a quieter and altogether more relaxing holiday destination than its lively neighbour Lloret de Mar. If you're looking for a round of golf Club de Golf Angel de Lloret is located there, and is worth a visit. Lloret de Mar is one of the Mediterranean's most popular resorts and certainly the liveliest holiday spot on this stretch of the Spanish coastline. Tourism transformed this former fishing and trading centre in the 1950s and the town's grand manorial homes were taken down to make way for high rise hotels, apartment blocks and urbanisations. While you're partying away in Lloret, the local course Club de Golf Angel de Lloret is good value and a lot of fun. Sant Feliu is a small bay surrounded by mountains which descend gradually towards the sea. The port allows all kinds of nautical leisure activities: sailing, fishing, etc. The headland, which previously separated two beaches today divides the beach from the fishing and commercial harbour on its other side. Sant Feliu is home to the extraordinary Club de Golf Costa Brava surrounded by pines and cork oaks, and Club de Golf D'Aro ranked one of the top 3 in Europe. The ancient walled city of Girona stands on a fortress-like hill, high above the River Onyar. It's been fought over in almost every century since it was the Roman fortress of Gerunda on the Via Augusta, and perhaps more than any other place in Catalunya, it retains the distinct flavour of its erstwhile inhabitants. Girona's golf scene kicks off with Club de Golf Girona, set in a sweeping valley with pines and umbrella trees. There is also Golf Playa de Pals right on the rugged beach, Golf Serres de Pals in the farm like countryside, and the magnificent PGA Golf de Cataluña. Roses is the biggest resort on the northern stretch of the Costa, located just 30 kilometres from the French border. This centuries old fishing port, at the north eastern end of the wide, sweeping Bay of Roses, is now a popular international holiday destination which has managed to retain much of its original charm. Roses has two incredibly beautiful clubs; Club de Golf Peralada and Emporda Golf Club both with lush green vegetation. The Salvador Dali museum at Figueres is one of the region's most popular tourist spots along with the Benedictine Monastery at Montserrat, perched high amid some extraordinary rock formations in the mountains to the north west of Barcelona. Apart from Dali Figueres has the American style Club de Golf Torremirona with big greens, Club de Golf Camprodon built in a river valley, and Golf Fontanals de Cerdanya with its breathtaking views of the countryside in Catalunya.

Beaches in the Costa Brava

Costa Brava Beaches are a 160 kilometre stretch of beautiful, rugged coastline in the region of Catalonia in the north east corner of Spain. Its natural beauty, endless miles of sandy beaches and summer sunshine attracts many tourists every year. Barcelona and his beaches has a massive clean-up operation of the beach and nearby Olympic marina and village undertaken for the 1992 Olympics, this area has become a magnet for Barcelonans and visitors alike. A lot of effort goes into maintaining the cleanliness of both sand and sea. The beaches in Blanes are the main attraction for the vast majority of tourists but are never over-crowded. And if you tire of the beach there are plenty of interesting day trips and local excursions to be enjoyed within easy reach of the resort. Blanes was once a small fishing town. Lloret de Mar is one of the Mediterranean's most popular resorts and certainly the liveliest holiday spot on this stretch of the Spanish coastline. Its a "Club 18-30" type of resort where there's enough British bars, discos, organised beach antics and foam parties to keep the most hardened reveller happy for a fortnight. The city of Sant Feliu de Guixols is situated in the centre of the Costa Brava. Its climate can be considered as spring time during 365 days of the year. Surrounded by natural landscapes with cliffs finishing in paradisiacal beaches;- some of them are only accessible from the sea by boat therefore the name of "Costa Brava" (wild coast). Roses is a town generous to tourists visiting it, for it affords a choice of the type of tourism best-suited to each traveller. There is the pleasure of "dolce far niente", which consists in taking a dip in a delightful little cove, savouring true sea cooking, sailing around a millenary bay or simply contemplating the marvellous sunsets. L'Estartit has a superb 6km long beach stretching south from the main resort with its lovely marina and relaxed atmosphere. Sunbeds and parasols can be rented and a number of water sports are available. This is just a small selection of some of the beautiful beaches along this stretch of the coast.
