Many people who go to Spain will have visited the Costa’s on their trip. There are so many different places to visit in Spain that it is difficult to know where you should go. To make your life easier we are recommending the top five Costa Brava Resorts.
1. Tossa De Mar is one of the first places the tourists go when they take their vacation overseas. Here you will find it almost impossible to see the water during July and August because many people come here to make the most of the sun. There are a number of different beaches and coves here. Tossa has around 70 hotels of different types but very few are open outside the tourist season from Easter to October. If you want to camp then you will find some campsites here as well.
2. Girona is the largest city in Northern Catalonia. Here you enter a medieval center where you can see diverse architecture such as Gothic, Roman, and Baroque. There is a new town and both are linked by a bridge across the river. If you have an interest in buildings and different cultures, then this is the place to visit because you will see so many different influences.
3. Figueres is a well known resort because it is the place Salvador Dali created his works of art in the 60’s and 70’s. If you want to look at some of his creations then you will enjoy visiting places like Placa de Gala I Salvador Dali which has sculpture outside. You will also want to see the pink wall at Pujada del Castell.
4. L’Estartit & The Illes Medes has some of the best diving in the area. You will be able to scuba dive here but you should always check the equipment from any diving school you use. If you are an experienced diver then you can find plenty of places to dive, but if you want to get your PADI then you will have to take the five day course. This is a typical package resort that many tourists take for their vacation.
5. Platja D’ara and Palamos are the two party spots in the Costa Brava. No longer are these places full of foreigners because there is now more tourism from Spaniards. You will find many concrete building and the night life is very busy. There are many beaches and again, during the tourist seasons, they are full.
It doesn’t matter what type of vacation you are looking for you will find something in the Costa Brava which will meet your needs.
