Don’t miss this place! Make sure to take the hike down towards the water. Very cool volcanic rocks to see! Leave a rock cairn before you go!

Esglesia de Santa Maria

Reviewed By Liefhebber19 - Breda, The Netherlands

Cadaqués is a lovely village with narrow cobblestone streets and a lovely church with very beautiful ornaments. Dali used to visit here a lot, a many other artists. It is not far from Port Lligat where we visited The residence of Dali.

La Fosca Beach

Reviewed By karinar70

This is our favourite beach in the area. The sand is pure soft sand and the sea shelves very gradually making it ideal for young children. If you use the right side of the rocks (by the pedallos) the sea is much clearer. You can swim out quite far and still stand as it’s shallow for quite a way. There are activities available such as kayaking and our children have always enjoyed searching for crabs and fish amongst the rock pools. The cafes and bars are great and not too pricey. Only problem would be parking in the area but we have found a great little spot that charges €3 for the whole day which is to the right side behind some of the apartments and hotels.

5. Castle of Montgri

Situated at the summit of Montgri Mountain, at an altitude of 302 m, 17257 Torroella de Montgri Spain https://en.costabrava.org/what-to-do/culture/heritage-and-monuments/castles-and-fortresses/castle-of-montgri-38831

Castle of Montgri

Reviewed By 249melc - West Molesey, United Kingdom

You definitely need good shoes ours was a family pilgrimage to honour my father in law who lived in L’Escala for the last 40 years. Castle d Montgrí is an iconic landmark seen from miles around . We climbed on a beautiful January day blue skies and sunshine, without my sons help I would not have made it it’s a steep rocky climb and coming down I turned my ankle a bit still sore now .However young families hikers and people older than me were up the top too very pleased to have achieved it amazing views don’t do the battlements if you suffer from vertigo though just love the Costa Brava Catalan xxx

La Cala S'Alguer

Reviewed By AlbertSalichs - Manresa, Spain

La Cala s'Alguer is a little and tiny beach located in the surroundings of Palamós, a city in Costa Brava Region, in the North of Catalonia. It is located in the coastal path around this beautiful region and probably it is located in the most beautiful pathway in this region. Really, walking around these places is very nice and seeing this tiny beach is incredible: some little fisher houses only less than 5 meters far from the sea. Having a house here would be incredible! heard the sound of sea and the wind in winter days is a magic moment. Salut i cuideu-vos! (See also La Fosca Beach, Platja de Castell and Chemin de Ronde)

Playas de Calella

Reviewed By 1trekky

A small holiday resort and fishing village. Not comercialised like other Costa Brava resorts. There are no large hotels and mass turism. The town has some small hotels and few quality restaurants along with a lovely beach.
