Costa Brava

Dreaming of turquoise waters, charming medieval towns, and landscapes that ignite the senses? Look no further than the Costa Brava and the surrounding Girona region of Catalunya in Spain. This captivating corner of the Iberian Peninsula offers a holiday experience that seamlessly blends sun-drenched relaxation with rich culture, exhilarating adventure, and mouthwatering gastronomy.

Costa Brava, the wild coast

The "Wild Coast," as its name suggests, is a dramatic tapestry of rugged cliffs plunging into the sparkling Mediterranean with picturesque coves and beaches. But the Costa Brava is more than just its stunning coastline. Venture inland and you'll discover a world of charming fishing villages like Calella de Palafrugell with its iconic whitewashed houses, historic towns like Begur perched atop a hill offering breathtaking views, and the artistic legacy that permeates the region.

Beyond the Costa Brava: the treasures of Girona Province

Step away from the shoreline and prepare to be enchanted by the diverse beauty and cultural richness of the Girona province:

Girona City: Lose yourself in the labyrinthine streets of Girona's Barri Vell (Old Quarter), marvel at the impressive Gothic cathedral, stroll along the ancient city walls for panoramic views, and cross the iconic red Eiffel Bridge. The city's vibrant atmosphere and delicious gastronomy will captivate you.

Empordà, land of vineyards: Inland from the coast lies the Empordà, a region renowned for its burgeoning wine industry and picturesque landscapes dotted with olive groves and charming rural villages. See our package Wine & Gastronomy.

Figueres, Dalí's Surreal World: Immerse yourself in the eccentric genius of Salvador Dalí at the Dalí Theatre-Museum, a surreal and unforgettable experience. See our package Dalí Triangle in Empordà.

Medieval Gems: Discover a wealth of perfectly preserved medieval towns like Pals, with its cobbled streets and stunning views, and Peratallada, a beautifully restored stone village that feels like stepping back in time. See our package Wine, Food & Culture.

Natural Parks: Explore the diverse natural beauty beyond the coast. Hike through the volcanic landscapes of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, with its dormant volcanoes and lush forests
