Coast, beach and tourist attractions : Catalonia boasts many sites of architectural and historical interest, including the Greek and Roman ruins at St. Martí d'Empuries, Romanesque churches, medieval villages, the Dali museum at Figueras and Dali's house at beautiful Cadaques. And of course no visit would be complete without a trip to exciting Barcelona, the native city of the architect Gaudi. There are many fiestas and cultural events in the local area. The Costa Brava (wild coast) is one of the most attractive parts of the Spanish coastline, with rocky coves alternating with long, sandy beaches. This area boasts many four- and five-star blue flag bathing beaches, as well as some of the most picturesque seaside resorts you'll see anywhere in the Mediterranean. The kids will adore our acres of golden sand and safe swimming (with lifeguards permanently on hand), not to mention the huge water park in nearby Platja d’Aro. The council organises free activities for the kids in summer.
Sports:: In the ssurrounding area there is a wide range of sporting opprtunities like tennis, diving, sailing, surfing, water skiing, wind surfing and horse riding. Walkers will enjoy the views along the Catalan coastal paths, some more challenging than others. When the weather is not too hot, more seasoned walkers can explore the way-marked routes through the nearby Gavarres hills, or venture further afield to the Pyrenees. An unforgettable trip is a steep ride up the rack railway between dramatic peaks to the Valley of Nuria, more than 2000 metres above sea level, where no cars are allowed, and only the hotel guests remain when the last train departs before supper time. There is lots of great biking on road and off road, with no need to take the car. Bikes can be rented locally.
You can even try your hand at a spot of sea fishing.
Shops and restaurants: : Modern and cosmopolitan Platja d'Aro has it all - fashionable stores, lots of tourist shops, cafés and restaurants, plus a lively nightlife. Nearby Palamos is a charming Catalan port, with traditional restaurants, cafés, tapas bars and shops. There's plenty of al fresco eating in any of the lovely seaside towns and villages in the area and you can shop in bustling local markets, well-stocked supermarkets or speciality stores.
