#Girona
At the beach; Near water
The province of Girona is the area where you can find the Costa Brava at its best. A holiday on the Costa Brava will make you feel like you've stepped into a postcard, given the natural beauties here complemented by the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees. Beaches and coves create ideal conditions for diving for a chance at the world-famous Medes Islands. The Cap de Creus nature reserve is also worth a visit, as is the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà nature reserve. Also on the Costa Brava you will find history in its most astonishing manifestation, such as the archaeological site of Empúries. The Jewish quarter of Gerona is also known, as is the monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes. For art lovers, the works of the famous artist Dali will be a real delight. Spain's Costa Brava is home to major music festivals, such as those at Torroella de Montgrí and Peralada. Don't miss the specific local dishes here, such as the Escudella i Carn d'olla, vegetable broth with pork, veal and chicken or the local sausage and tortilla. Whether it's lying on the beach and relaxing, swimming in the Mediterranean or hiking in the Pyrenees, experiencing Spanish culture and history, there is one place where you can actually experience it all in one place: all in many facets: Spain's Costa Brava.
