Villas on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a> are great choices for families, couples, and for solo travellers, offering easy access to some of Catalonia\u2019s best attractions and most beautiful sights. It\u2019s easy to travel along the picturesque Costa Brava, and here are three great travel tips that can help make your holiday in Spain<\/u><\/a> fantastic.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Book a Villa with Pool on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Costa Brava certainly doesn\u2019t have a shortage of great places to swim. In fact, the horseshoe-shaped bays of Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell are ideal swimming spots thanks to their gentle waters. If you visit during the popular summer months, you may find the beaches quite lively, as opposed to the quiet environment found during the off-season. If you book a villa with private pool on the Costa Brava<\/u><\/a> you can have the waters all to yourself and enjoy a truly peaceful experience.<\/p>\n

Hire a Car<\/strong><\/p>\n

When we think of the Costa Brava, we usually think of the seaside resorts of Blanes<\/a>, Tossa de Mar, and Lloret de Mar. However, there is much more to this part of Catalonia than meets the eye, and there are some truly fantastic destinations located just a short distance inland like the city of Girona or Les Guilleries national park. You\u2019ll find it easiest and most convenient to see these places by hiring a car. You could even add on a mini vacation in Barcelona<\/u><\/a>; a long weekend in the city!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pack Carefully<\/strong><\/p>\n

Packing for a holiday in Spain<\/u><\/a> is usually very simple; you\u2019ll want cool, loose clothing and plenty of suncream! However, there are a few extras that you may need on the Costa Brava. Remember that \u2018Costa Brava\u2019 can be translated as \u2018Rough Coast\u2019, highlighting the very craggy shorelines, so a strong pair of comfortable shoes is essential if you want to make the most of this part of Catalonia. Also be sure to pack a sun hat as some attractions, like Castell de Begur, typically have no shade during the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
