Costa Brava Holidays
The Costa Brava Holiday – Picturesque varied coastline with outstanding beaches
Costa Brava is a long-established Spanish favourite with British visitors drawn year after year by a superb climate, excellent beaches, varied resorts and picturesque countryside. Holidays here feature superb sandy Mediterranean beaches on the coast of Catalonia in northwest Spain, stretching from the French border to Barcelona and normally accessed through Gerona airport. The undoubted highlight of Costa Brava is the indented rugged coastline with its unspoilt wooded coves, cliffs, pretty bays and glorious sandy beaches. A feature of Costa Brava is Catalonia itself, a region with its own distinct language, culture, fiestas and cuisine. The region offers excellent snorkelling, diving and sailing and could also include first-class golf, horse riding and walking.
Costa Brava Holidays – Family beach resorts and characterful Catalan villages
Costa Brava holidays in Platja D’Aro and Calella enjoy a vibrant youthful atmosphere and are especially popular with families, while Esartit and Playa de Pals are long-established favourites with British visitors. For quieter resorts with a slightly more upmarket feel try the atmospheric little towns of Taramiu and Llafranc. Palafrugell, Llagostera, delightful medieval Llofriu and tiny Torrent all offer breaks with plenty of Catalan style just a few miles from popular beaches. For resorts within easy reach of Barcelona choose one of a string of popular Costa Brava beach resorts that include Pineda de Mar, Malgrat and Blanes.
Holidays on the Costa Brava – Visit Gerona and vibrant Barcelona
All Costa Brava resorts offer splendid excursions in the green forested interior: the striking monasteries at Montserrat and Poblet, the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, the medieval town of Pals and the beautiful walled city of Gerona. Visiting the Costa Brava isnt complete without a trip to the wonderful city of Barcelona. Breaks here enjoy excellent train services, ideal for visiting the area's resorts and unforgettable Barcelona.
