COSTA BRAVA  

With a name meaning fierce coast, it is known as one of the most famous Spanish coastlines. Stretching from the French border to just north of Barcelona with picture-perfect beaches and collection of quaint Spanish beach towns, its steep cliffs and small romantic coves are the images from which postcards are made. We particularly recommend Calella de Palafrugel (above photo), Sa Tuna, Tamariu and Aigua Blava for unspoilt beach village perfection.

Home to over 20 Michelin-star dining opportunities, Costa Brava is a gastronomic paradise. El Bulli, a Michelin three-star, ranked the world’s number one restaurant an astonishing five times, as well as the famous Can Fabes and Can Roca makes this region a culinary delight.
