The Costa Brava, in Catalonia, is a region that has it all: spectacular landscapes, a rich culture and excellent cuisine. Its hidden coves and turquoise waters are a paradise for sea lovers.

There are many things to do in the Costa Brava. From relaxing on quiet beaches to getting lost in medieval towns full of history. Whether you are looking for a relaxing getaway or more active plans, this stretch of the Mediterranean has something for everyone.

Best things to do in the Costa Brava

Explore dream beaches and coves

The Costa Brava is famous for its stunning beaches and coves, perfect for those seeking sun and sea. Its rocky formations and crystal-clear waters create a unique landscape that invites relaxation.

Cala Belladona and Cala Cap Roig are two of the most beautiful beaches in the area, standing out for their natural surroundings, crystal-clear waters and direct access from the Park Hotel San Jorge. Surrounded by pine trees, they are perfect for those seeking tranquillity and typical Mediterranean scenery.

In the nearby town of Platja d’Aro, you will find Platja Gran, a long golden sandy beach ideal for families and water sports enthusiasts. With full facilities and lifeguards, it offers everything you need for a perfect day under the sun.

To discover other charming spots along the central coast, Cala Sa Tuna in Begur offers a picturesque landscape with old fishermen’s houses and a much calmer, more authentic atmosphere.

 

Visit medieval and seaside villages

If you are passionate about history, you must visit the charming medieval villages of the Costa Brava. Pals is a place that seems frozen in time, with cobbled streets that offer a true journey into the past. Just a few kilometres away, Peratallada welcomes visitors with its perfectly preserved medieval architecture.

 

Enjoy nature

The Costa Brava is a natural paradise offering a wide variety of protected areas. One of the best known is the Cap de Creus Natural Park, one of the most spectacular natural treasures in the region, with activities for all tastes: hiking, cycling, snorkelling, kayaking... It is the perfect place to lose yourself in nature.

If you enjoy diving, the nearby Medes Islands are a small archipelago of seven islands surrounded by impressive marine biodiversity.

Another unique place we recommend visiting is the Cap Roig Gardens in Calella de Palafrugell, which offer a spectacular botanical garden with sea views. For hiking enthusiasts, the Camí de Ronda offers an unforgettable coastal route, passing through some of the most beautiful seaside villages on the Costa Brava.

 

Discover history in its museums

In addition to being a natural paradise, the Costa Brava is also a cultural hub. One of the must-see places is the iconic Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres. This museum is a masterpiece in itself, designed by Salvador Dalí, and houses an extensive collection of his works. Also related to the artist, you can visit the Salvador Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat in Cadaqués and the Gala Dalí Castle in Púbol.

History resonates in every corner of the Costa Brava. From the ancient Empúries Ruins, where Greeks and Romans left their mark centuries ago, to the majestic Sant Pere de Rodes Monastery overlooking the Mediterranean from above.

Another interesting cultural visit is the Palamós Fishing Museum, which offers a fascinating insight into the fishing tradition that has sustained local generations for centuries.

 

Taste Michelin cuisine and seafood products

In the Costa Brava, the sea is not only a visual spectacle but also a feast for the palate. Here, seafood products take centre stage. You cannot leave without trying Palamós prawns, famous for their high quality. Anchovies from L’Escala are another essential delicacy, prepared through an artisanal process that gives them an exquisite flavour.

If you are looking for a high-end culinary experience, the Costa Brava will not disappoint. At El Celler de Can Roca in Girona, every dish is a masterpiece. This three-Michelin-star restaurant is one of the most prestigious in the world.

The best accommodation to discover the Costa Brava

The Park Hotel San Jorge is the perfect choice for those looking for a stay with sea views. This 4-star hotel in Platja d’Aro offers all the amenities needed for a truly comfortable and relaxing experience: restaurants, spa, swimming pool and parking.

Its location is ideal for enjoying all these plans in the Costa Brava. Situated in Platja d’Aro, it has direct access to Cala Belladona and Cala Cap Roig, two of the most beautiful coves in the area. A privileged location to discover the best of this region.
