Catalunya and the Costa Brava is not only a beautiful region it is also steeped in history, with some of the world's greatest empire's leaving their mark. Despite being one of the first areas in Catalunya to be developed for tourism, the Costa Brava remains excitingly and wildly beautiful.

The Costa Brava - the coast of the brave - deserves its name because its spectacular scenery. Stretching from Port Bou in the very north to Barcelona in the south, the Costa Brava is probably Spain's most famous stretch of coastline with lovely beaches often backed by steep cliffs. Since Paleolithic hunters first made their home in the caves of Ulldecona in 550BC, Catalunya has seen the Romans and Moors settle on its shores.

The Costa Brava offers holidaymakers natural beauty, proximity to the great city of Barcelona, historic medieval villages, world-famous restaurants and excellent sports facilities including world famous golf courses and ski-ing in the Pyrenees. Away from the crowds you can venture to hidden inlets and coves and along rural routes for peace, isolation and local colour, or head to Barcelona.

Girona/Costa Brava airport now has regular daily flights from many places and there are many fights from almost everywhere in the UK to Barcelona. Local train services are excellent, as is the road network. English is widely spoken, it is an asset if you speak a little Spanish but no-one expects you to speak the local language - Catalan.
Although cooler in winter than the Costa del Sol further south, the Costa Brava is also cooler in summer with daytime temperatures around 30C. Lunch on the terrace is standard except perhaps in December and January.

The Costa Brava has a quite sophisticated atmosphere. Ex-pats are of many nationalities, usually retired or soon-to-retire professionals and generally well travelled and fairly well-off. Whereas in the south there are definite British "enclaves" packed full of British bars, this is less evident on the Costa Brava.
