Costa Brava

Discover the perfect harmony between turquoise-blue waters and pine green forests and mountains that this beautiful corner of Catalonia holds.

The Costa Brava is one of the jewels of the Mediterranean: it combines breathtakingly beautiful coastline with charming medieval villages and spacious natural parks. Offering bustling tourist resorts and other spots practically unknown to most summer visitors, there are Costa Brava holiday deals for all tastes: find both unspoilt beaches and large tourist complexes with every service and facility you could need all within a few miles.

Multitudes of European tourists fly each summer to this magnificent region, partly because it's easy to find cheap flights to the Costa Brava, but unquestionably drawn by its gorgeous coves and magnificent nature.  The region's beaches include the famous Aiguablava beach in Begur, surrounded by an exceptional and almost untouched natural park, and Portitxol beach in L'Escala, where you will also find the archaeological site of the Greek-Roman colony enclave of Empuries, declared a UNESCO World heritage site. 

Talking about culture, don't miss the region's best-known genius, Salvador Dali. Delve into the surrealist world of the artist at the Dali Theatre-Museum in Figueres, his birthplace. Or visit the postcard-perfect fishing village of Cadaques, which as well as being home to the Salvador Dali House-Museum in Portlligat, offers excellent beaches and stunning views of the nearby Cap de Creus Natural Park.

If you're looking for entertainment, join the masses of British tourists who take advantage of Costa Brava holiday deals to enjoy the warm sun, sandy beaches, and lively bars and nightclubs. In nearby Tossa de Mar, you'll find a quieter, atmosphere, great for families with children, as well as a pretty old town with its medieval walled complex.

You can get here by car, train or by bus, but you can also opt for convenient flight + hotel to the Costa Brava packages, which will let you land in Girona-Costa Brava airport, or you can fly to Barcelona and hire a car to move around more easily.

The Costa Brava offers fun, culture, food and relaxation What are you waiting for?
