The Costa Brava embraces the whole coast of Girona. The coast is rocky, sprinkled liberally with coves and sandy beaches in which tiny fishing villages are hidden away. The sea is clean and crystal clear and the scenery is spectacular making it a very popular destination for holidaymakers. If you’re looking for amusement and entertainment in addition to sunny sandy beaches, Empuriabrava, Lloret de Mar, Platja d’Aro, Roses, Sant Antoni de Calonge or L’Estartit offer a wide variety, from theme parks to zoos, or every possible choice of restaurants, bars and discos in which to dance the night away. L’Estartit is also very popular with snorkelling and scuba diving fans. Perhaps you prefer relaxing and picturesque surrounds – then visit Cadaqués (the place that seduced Salvador Dalí), Calella de Palafrugell or Llafranc. And wherever you happen to be, enjoy the delicious local gastronomy! Specialities you shouldn’t miss: “suquet de pescado”, a tantalizing seafood bouillabaisse, sepia, fantastically tasty rice dishes – and many more!
