Costa Brava Horseshoe alcoves and stunning turquoise water that shifts into deep blue, delicious expanses of sea lapping up against a white sandy beach, the breathtaking Costa Brava is a much-desired destination throughout Europe and the world. Yet don’t let the throngs of tourists discourage you – there’s plenty of room along this stretch of sunny, Spanish paradise for you to discover tranquility and restful relaxation, if that’s what you’re looking for.
Located on the northeasterly shoreline of Spain, just off from Barcelona and in the Catalonia region of the country, Costa Brava gets a lot of direct traffic from French, Germans and Italians on their international breaks. For those who are keen to celebrate the populated beach resorts full of humanity and hard bodies, the Lloret del Mar is a great beach to start out on. High rise resorts offering deluxe accommodations, land-based activities and a variety of exciting water sports in these safe and family-friendly waters make for a great way to spend your Spanish summer vacation, whether as a romantic escape or a trip with the entire family.
Water sports here include jet skiing, wind surfing, water skiing, kite surfing and swimming through the cool refreshing waters. Those with a mind to relax a bit more can soak in the hot Spanish sun all day, and feel the warmth and goodness that define these idle, Mediterranean days.
Vacationers inclined to a more refined side of Costa Brava will be delighted to know that the Cadaqués is practically waiting for them with open arms. This cultural, artistic community is really splendid, obviously deriving its inspiration from the breathtaking vistas off the Mediterranean coast. It is here that Picasso received much of his inspiration, as well. Launch a cruise in a small yacht from this harbor, and feel the warm, summer wind caress your face as you breathe in the charm and grace of the Costa Brava.
Nightlife at any of the luxury resort spa destinations along the Costa Brava is fit for millionaires, and accessible by all budgets. So close to Barcelona, be prepared for a fashionable crew of merry makers, no matter where you go. When booking accommodations, be sure to make your reservations well in advance before the peak season, which falls in the summer months of July and August. |
