Help Needed

We've never visited the Costa Brava before, but would like to spend a few days in Barcelona and also spend some time at a nearby coastal resort. Any info/suggestions would be very welcome.

Thanks!

Hi There,

It depends on what your looking for in a coastal resort, If you are looking for something lively with a lot of british themed bars i would definately recommend Loret De Mar.

Thanks for your reply. We are probably looking for somewhere a little quieter though, but with some nice places to eat out.

Hi Just returned from doing the same, we spent 2 nights in barcelona , this was not enough we will go back some time for 4 more.So much to see and do a really exciting city i loved it !! and i hate cities, hence only 2 nights booked. Word of advice DONT DRIVE i did it was terrible never again.!
We flew to Gerona so after going in land to a place called Cardona where we stayed in a Parador called cardona castle we wanted a beach resort not too far from the airport so we chose Platja d'Aro, We thoroughly enjoyed it, it is really clean the shop really expensive so didn't buy anything (thats a good thing). There's plenty of choice of restaurants. We stayed in the Comtat saint Jordi apart/hotel it was only �15 per night each, through travel republic, it was clean tidy had a nice pool and really close to the beach although not on it.
The day we left we went into Gerona which is another beautiful city. Medevial i thinks any way was really good mix of busy times and relaxing times.
Have a great time, if you go brush up on your spanish as they speak very little english there.

lovely place to go on the Costa Brava is Calella de Palafrugell not a lot there but regular bus services into Palafrugell with plenty of bars and shops

I would suggest stay in Callella then you are on the train route for all resorts including Barcelona.
