Spain has no less than 13 Costas to choose from. Nine of which are on the Mediterranean coastline from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/the-costa-brava.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catalan Costa Brava<\/a> in the north on the border with France down to the Costa del Sol on the southern tip of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-401 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"404\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/spain-costas.jpg\" alt=\"The Costas of Spain\" class=\"wp-image-401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/spain-costas.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/spain-costas-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/spain-costas-455x300.jpg 455w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><figcaption>Spanish Costas<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Costa Brava, the best Costa in Spain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We have visited most of the Costas and for us the hands down winner is the Costa Brava. In fact we liked it so much we decided to come and live here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a number of reasons why we love the Costa Brava so much. From its intimate hidden coves, the climate, the people, its culture, the food, its medieval villages. For us the all round general ambiance make the Costa Brava the best coastal region in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Early tourism on the Costa Brava<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Costa Brava was the very first Costa in Spain to welcome holiday makers back in the 1950&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s. For many people the Costa Brava conjures up images of tacky package holidays, fish and chips and sangria. It well may have been like that in the 1960&#8217;s but not any longer. Because of the rugged nature of the Costa Brava coastline the developers quickly moved further south in search of flatter, more accessible land to build their high rise apartment blocks and for the most part left the Costa Brava behind. So today the Costa Brava is perhaps one of the better preserved Mediterranean coastal areas. What we have are fishing villages, unspoiled coves and a distinct lack of large hotels, apartment blocks and package holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-403 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Auiga-Xelida-08.03.13-001.jpg\" alt=\"Aigua Gelida, Tamariu\" class=\"wp-image-403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Auiga-Xelida-08.03.13-001.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Auiga-Xelida-08.03.13-001-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Auiga-Xelida-08.03.13-001-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Aigua Xelida, Tamariu<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>With the exception of Lloret de Mar you will find very little package tourism, loud all night bars or drunken teenagers on the Costa Brava. There&#8217;s a more laid back family orientated culture here with holiday makers from a wide selection of countries from all around the world. A lot of Catalan and Spanish people who have second residences in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The temperatures on the Costa Brava do not reach the heights of those on the Costa del Sol although an average of the mid 30&#8217;s in July and August is hot enough for most people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do on the Costa Brava?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The province of Girona has a lot more to offer the traveler than just a fantastic coastline. There&#8217;s loads of things to see and do in the region. Choose from visiting unspoiled medieval villages, the Dali triangle, visiting the beech forests of the extinct volcanic region of La Garrotxa. Take a nice walk around the lake of Banyoles and visit the weekly farmers market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-193 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/01\/Banyoles-028-e1357812119357.jpg\" alt=\"A view of Banyoles lake along a jetty\" class=\"wp-image-193\"\/><figcaption>Banyoles lake just after sunrise<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Catalan cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Then of course there&#8217;s the food! With a great selection of fresh local products at their disposal Catalan chefs are recognized worldwide as innovators from the record five time No1 restaurant in the world El Bulli to the current No1, <a href=\"https:\/\/cellercanroca.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">El Celler de Can Roca<\/a> in Girona. But it is not just all about Michelin star restaurant food as the general standard in the region is very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best bits of the Costa Brava? The area around Begur and Palafrugell with its small bays and coves is very popular as is the Dali famed Cadaques. We also like the coastal village of Sant Marti d&#8217;Empuries which does not get as crowded as Begur or Cadaques and has nice beaches and a few decent restaurants to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image wp-image-406 size-full\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AiguaBlava-07.05.13-008.jpg\" alt=\"The beach of AiguaBlava, Begur\" class=\"wp-image-406\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AiguaBlava-07.05.13-008.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AiguaBlava-07.05.13-008-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.charmingvillas.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/AiguaBlava-07.05.13-008-500x281.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Aigua Blava, Begur<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>So for us the question &#8220;which is the best Costa in Spain?&#8221; is a resounding Costa Brava!<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which is the best Costa in Spain is a question we are asked from time to time.
