Best Months to Visit Costa Brava
- Costa Brava is a beach and nature lover's paradise, so the best time to visit is when the weather permits a day of sunbathing or exploring one of the nature reserves.
- For many people, the best time to visit Costa Brava is in June or September.
- These are the beginning and end of the Summer season, which means that the weather is not oppressively hot.
- Long days of sunshine and fantastic beach days await you, with evenings still warm enough to enjoy drinks and dinners al fresco.
- We would avoid Costa Brava in October if we had to pick a month.
- This is their wettest season, which could ruin your beach day or excursions into nature or ancient cities.
- Even so, when the rainstorms come, it has its own special charm.

Costa Brava: Food, Fun & Fashion Guide
Compartir
#Food
- Mateu Casaas, Oriol Castro, and Eduard Xatruch – former chefs de cuisine at the now-closed Michelin-starred hotspot El Bulli – created Compartir, which is housed in a beautiful 18th-century building in the lovely coastal town of Cadaqués.
- The restaurant's name translates to 'to share,' and its menu follows the Catalan tradition of pica-pica, in which a table orders a variety of small dishes to be shared.
- Modern, inventive plates like scallops with hazelnut and lingonberries or Iberian pork tenderloin with Moroccan couscous will be followed by equally inventive desserts like deconstructed cheesecake with cherry sorbet.
Pa i Raïm
#Food
- Pa I Ram is possibly one of the most beautiful restaurants in Palafrugell, nestled down an unassuming side street in a smart Art Nouveau house, the former family home of Catalan writer Josep Pla.
- Elegantly decorated dining rooms welcome visitors, while a lovely winter garden and tree-shaded terrace provide additional enchanting dining spaces.
- Pa I Ram's seasonal cuisine is as lovely as its decor, drawing on both traditional Empordà cuisine and modern flavors, with delectable must-try dishes like Catalan cod with raisins and pine nuts and roasted Iberian pork cheek with muscat, cinnamon, and apple.
Las Arenas de Barcelona
#Fashion
- The Las Arenas building does not appear to be a shopping mall at first glance. It appears to be a historical monument from the outside, and it is one of them.
- The structure itself dates from 1900. It used to be a bullfighting arena (hence the name), but in 2011 it was reconstructed and redesigned as a commercial center.
- It is now one of the coolest malls you can visit, with a cinema, a gym, numerous restaurants, and even a Rock Museum, in addition to a large number of stores spread over three levels of the center.
- The real gem, however, is the circular terrace on the 5th floor with a 360-degree panoramic view, which is located in Plaza Espaa.
- There is, in fact, a €1 glass elevator that will take you to the viewing platform.
- If you don't want to pay to go to the top, you can use the escalators inside the mall to get there.
El Corte Ingles
#Fashion
- When you get off the Aerobus at Plaza Catalunya on your first day in Barcelona, one of the first things you see is the El Corte Ingles shopping center.
- This is the largest of the chain's centers, which are spread throughout Barcelona.
- It's the Spanish equivalent of Macy's, and it's one of the best places in Barcelona to shop for designer clothing, accessories, and cosmetics.
- This shopping center is the best choice if you don't want to spend a lot of time shopping or need a place where all of your family members or friends can find what they're looking for without having to split up and go to different stores.
- Everything you could possibly need can be found inside El Corte Ingles, including perfumes, cosmetics, jewelry, women's and men's fashion, a travel agency, children's fashion, shoes, furniture and electronics, books, toys, and much more.
- The restaurant and café La Rotonda is located on the ninth and final floor of the center.
- A supermarket and a small food court are also located on the lower level.
ARBRE AVENTURA PARK
#Fun
- Arbreaventura is an adventure park where visitors can participate in outdoor activities while being in contact with nature and trees.

Costa Brava: Natural Beauty & Safari Adventures
- The Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Parc, located in the bay of Roses, is Catalonia's second most important wetland.
- It's a great place to see waterfowl and sea birds, as well as migrant birds that stop by for a rest.
- The park is well-equipped with wooden walkways, ensuring that you don't miss a single detail.
- You might be able to see some of the otters that were reintroduced to the area years ago if you're lucky.
- The La Garrotxa Volcanic Zone natural park is for you if you want to feel the energy of walking on what was once a volcano and looking directly at one of its craters.
- It has 28 hiking trails of varying difficulty where you can get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the coast, and is characterized by forests of holm oaks, oaks, and beeches.
- A walk through the Fageda d'en Jordà, an incredible beech forest that looks like something out of a fairy tale, is an absolute must.
- The maritime landscape changes dramatically about two and a half hours from the Costa Brava, and we find ourselves in the heart of the Pyrenees, in a high-altitude natural park.
- With steep slopes and valleys full of meadows and forests, the Cad and Moixeró mountain ranges are two of the most impressive in the Pyrenees.
- Symbolic species such as wolves, chamois goat-antelopes, bearded vultures, and wood grouse can be found in this park, but finding them requires a lot of luck.

Costa Brava Must-Attend Festivals and Events
- The event takes place in a stunning natural setting of 17 hectares on the seafront in one of the most important botanical gardens in the Mediterranean, Calella de Palafrugell, with seating for 2,118 spectators.
- We are not exaggerating when we say that the views are breathtaking. You can also visit the garden if you don't like any of the artists involved (which is strange because there is something for everyone's taste, including Peppa Pig) or the dates aren't convenient for you.
- It's a riot of color in the spring.
- In Sant Feliu de Guxols, it pervades every nook and cranny of the Catalan village with the best cultural offerings, creating a one-of-a-kind environment in which to fully enjoy all of their offerings.
- Hearing Ludovico Einaudi's piano in a place like Sant Feliu de Guxols harbour, with the moon and the smell of the sea in the background, is an indescribable pleasure.
- You get goosebumps just thinking about it!
- With its gardens, the entire medieval Peralada Castle serves as a set.
- Summer evenings are ideal for concerts at the Auditorium, which is located in the Castle gardens. It has something for everyone: opera, ballet, theater.
- Apart from the Festival, Peralada is known for its wine culture, so you can pay a visit to the Wine Cellar, which is located right next to the Castle, before the concert.
