Holidays to Costa Brava
Why Costa Brava?
A holiday to the Costa Brava promises a pine-scented paradise adorned with first-rate beaches and ancient artefacts. Literally meaning ‘The Wild Coast’, this rugged stretch of Catalonia boasts pretty pink cliffs, ancient ruins, and cute seaside villages rubbing shoulders with busy tourist resorts. A long-term hotspot for beach-loving Barcelonans, it’s also a major hit with holidaymakers from Europe and beyond.
The Costa Brava’s many bays and coves offer an intimate, unspoilt vibe for sun, sea ‘n’ chill, while inland you’ll find mountain ranges, natural parks, and rolling valleys for hiking and biking. Sporty types can also try scuba diving, snorkelling, and sailing in the clean sapphire waters along the coast, while golf lovers can grab a round at one of the region’s world-class courses.
On the culture front, there are many quirky museums to visit, including a jam museum and a cork museum (who knew?), as well as three devoted to the area’s most famous former resident, Salvador Dali. The area also plays host to Greco-Roman ruins at Empúries, while Girona’s Old Town contains a Gothic Cathedral, Arab Baths, and a historic Jewish Quarter.
The Costa Brava is quickly becoming a Mecca for foodies, and its towns and villages are packed with Michelin-starred eateries as well as charming tavernas serving tasty traditional dishes like paella, tapas, and crema catalana. Ready to pack your bags? Before you brush up on your Spanish, know that Catalan is the lingo you’ll need on a holiday to the Costa Brava.
