October 17, 2021 Brandee Mangan

Whether you're looking for sandy beaches, rocky coves, tranquil villages or mountain scenery, Spain's Costa Brava has something to offer you. Situated in the north-east of the country overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Costa Brava region enjoys hot summers and mild winters, making it an all-year-round holiday destination. There are plenty of opportunities in the Costa Brava to play golf, tennis or football, as well as to take part in water sports. The Sant Daniel Valley on the western side of the Gavarres hills has mountain biking and trekking paths with stunning views. If you are looking for a cultural activity, the Archaeological Museum in Banyoles is housed in a Gothic palace and has displays of paleontology and pottery as well as archaeology. Modern art lovers must not miss the Theatre Museum in Figueres which has a collection of Salvador Dali's paintings. At the end of the day, if you still have some energy, there is no shortage of nightlife in towns such as Lloret de Mar.

Modernist Cemetery

Reviewed By sezzyloulou - Harlow, United Kingdom

Work began in 1896 and it opened in 1901 this cemetery is full of the finest examples of most significant Catalan funeral art and hosts some of Spain’s most important funeral sculptures, it is home for the most magnificent monuments from simple tombstones to large pantheons, one of which was inspired by Gaudi Religious or not this place is a must see if you are visiting Lloret, a very short walk from town, and a time to get away from the beach/holiday makers to see some real masterpieces Superb !!!
