things to do on the costa brava

Explore the coastline
The regions' stunning coastline remains one the areas' major attractions, with most visitors spending plenty of time exploring the rugged shoreline. Relax on one of the delightful sandy beaches, discover the beauty of the rocky bays by glass-bottomed boat, or explore the craggy coastline by sailboat from one of the many marinas in the area.

Water sports
The many coastal resorts offer plenty of opportunity for water sports, from jet-skiing and banana boat rides, to wind surfing and water skiing. The clear Mediterranean waters with its rocky coves and hidden bays also provide excellent conditions for snorkelling and scuba-divng.

Golfing
The stunning scenery, excellent climate and low cost of living all help to make the Costa Brava a popular and up and coming golfing destination. The region is now home to 10 courses, some of which are rated amongst the best in Europe. HIghly accessible from the UK, and just a couple of hours away, the Costa Brava is an ideal destination for a short golfing break.    

Walking and hiking
With its dramatic shoreline, rolling hills and fascinating Catalan villages, the Costa Brava offers the perfect landscape for scenic walks and hikes. Discover the real Spain and travel the paths and trails that cross the Costa Brava, taking in the beauty and rural charm of the region.

Horse riding
Explore the varied scenery of the Costa Brava on horseback, taking in the wild coastal paths and rich wooded trails of the region. The warm and sunny weather creates the perfect climate for discovering the region on horseback, and the combination of mountainous backdrop and dramatic coastline makes for an unforgettable ride.

Family days out
With a number of theme parks to choose from, the Costa Brava offers plenty of family entertainment. The region boasts both the largest water park in Europe, and the largest theme park in the Mediterranean, as well as attractions such as Marineland near Blanes, and an excellent Bird Park. Lloret de Mar also offers activities such as go-karting, bowling and mini-golf, as well as plenty of evening entertainment.

Day trips
No trip to the Costa Brava is complete without a visit to one of Europes' most exciting cities, Barcelona. Vibrant and cosmopolitan, Barcelona offers a host of things to see and do, from its famed architecture to buzzing streets full of hip shops, bars and restaurants. For a complete change of pace, stroll round one of the tiny and historic Catalan towns found inland, or relax in one of the many unspoilt fishing villages that still dot the coastline.
