Further details
This is the unspoilt Costa Brava or Catalunya, free from large Tour Operated holidays and where many of the properties are owned by Barcelonians. Rarely overcrowded and retaining real Spanish charm without a souvenir shop in sight! You will want to return to again and again. Every day there will be a different place of interest to visit, be it a cultural pursuit or another sundrenched sandy cove with clear water to while away the day. All the coastal resorts here have waterfront restuarants, cafes and shops. It is a real pleasure to wander the little streets around the front and enjoy the spectacular scenery that this rugged coastline offers. Development here is mainly villas as the terrain does not allow for large apartment blocks. The coastline remains intact with some wonderful coastal path walks. Within 10-15 minutes are the excellent beaches and coastal villages of Aiguablava, Sa Riera, Calella De Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu.
Begur - This charming hillside town with its cobbled streets offers the visitor an outstanding choice of Catalan restaurants, tapas bars and shops. The main square has entertainment in the high season and there are many late night bars and a couple of discos. The overall atmosphere is very Spanish with local artists' paintings and crafts displayed in the square during the summer. Wednesday is market day. Excellent supermarkets,specialist fishmonger, butchers` shops and freshly baked bread available in many shops. There are many other places of interest including Salvador Dali's castle at Pubol and his amazing museum at Figueres, where you cannot fail to be drawn in by his diverse art. At La Bisbal the streets are littered with ceramic shops and there is also an antique centre. Girona, a wonderful city to visit, known as mini-Barcelona, with its own charming ramblas and interesting shops and pavement restaurants. Barcelona, if you crave city life is 1 hour by train from nearby Flaca. All you need for a fantastic holiday is here!
