Santa Susanna holidays
Santa Susanna, located on the Costa Brava just 14km south of Lloret de Mar and 65 km from Barcelona, is a lively resort which offers good value holidays and attracts plenty of families with its’ sandy beaches and extensive tourist facilities. Sitting just in front of an attractive area of wooded hills, Santa Susanna offers both an authentic old town and a modern tourist area down at the seafront
Holidays in Santa Susanna – A delightful old walled town with modern tourist facilities
The coastline at Santa Susanna runs for 2km and extends into the next resort of Malgrat de Mer towards the north-east. The beaches at Santa Susanna are of coarse sand, and contain a mixture of small rocky outcrops and narrow bays, offering plenty of amenities such as sunbeds and loungers and a wide selection of watersports. Santa Susanna offers some new purpose-built accommodation down on the seafront, along with the usual tourist shops and bars, and a selection of fast-food restaurants. Most of the hotels and apartments are set back from the beach, behind the railway line that runs parallel to the front, and made accessible by a series of pedestrian walkways which run under the railway and main road. The old walled town of Santa Susanna is full of cobbled streets and whitewashed houses, and offers an alternative to the modern tourist area with its’ Catalan restaurants and authentic Spanish charm. Craftsmen from the area sell their goods every afternoon in Santa Susanna, and the market, held every Tuesday, is filled with local goods and produce grown in the surrounding areas.
