Do you live in Catalonia or do you plan to travel to this beautiful autonomous community this summer? Well, you should be very attentive to what we tell you below! And today we are going to focus on one of the most beautiful areas of this place: the Costa Brava.
This area of the Catalan coast, which corresponds to the province of Girona, is one of the most visited tourist destinations in Spain and the truth is that it is not surprising, since in addition to offering history, culture, good weather and exquisite gastronomy, hides some of the most beautiful beaches and coves in the whole country and, of course, in all of Catalonia. Today at Playas Calas we want to show you some of the best. Would you like to join us?
Aiguablava
The first beach on our list could not be other than Aiguablava, a small cove located in the town of Begur. Surrounded by an idyllic setting of rocks and pine forests, fine golden sand and completely crystalline waters, it also offers some services, such as showers, surveillance, access for people with reduced mobility, a beach bar and restaurants. Of course, you must bear in mind that any beach in Begur will meet your expectations.
Cala Pola
From Begur we move to Tossa de Mar, one of the most beautiful towns in Catalonia, which hides beaches as spectacular as Cala Pola, which is located very close to a campsite , so it is very lively. In addition to being surrounded by forest and having spectacular crystal clear waters, it offers all kinds of services.
Cala del Senyor Ramon
We continue our tour of the best beaches on the Costa Brava in Santa Cristina d’Aro, where the Cala del Senyor Ramon is located, a long narrow beach that, like the previous ones, is surrounded by vegetation , in addition to having impressive cliffs and an excellent underwater background.
Estreta cove
Among our favorite beaches on the Costa Brava there is also Cala Estreta, a secluded and small beach that will fascinate you for its high natural and scenic value. As you can guess from the name (“estreta” is “narrow” in Catalan), the beach is quite narrow and is divided into two parts. The best thing about this place, yes, is that it remains practically intact.
Aigua Xelida
Nor could the Aigua Xelida beach be missing from this list, a super small cove but of incomparable beauty. Here too we find pine forests, cliffs and crystal clear waters that invite you to take a dip and snorkel .
The Castell
Of the different beaches that we can find in Palamós, El Castell stands out, which is considered by many to be the most unspoilt beach on the entire Costa Brava, something that has been achieved thanks to the residents of the area, who have fought to preserve the beautiful environment natural.
Cala Portaló
Located in the protected area of Cap de Creus, the easternmost point of the peninsula, Cala Portaló is characterized by its small size and for being surrounded by high rocky walls. It is made of gravel and does not have any services, but a day at the beach in this place is really worth it.
Gola de Ter beach
The next beach on our list is Gola de Ter. Located in Torroella de Montgrí, the beach also known as Playa de la Fonollera is long and has fine golden sand. Best of all, it is far from any construction, as well as being of significant ecological value.
Sant Pere Pescador beach
Another beach that could not be missing from the list is Sant Pere Pescador, an extensive sandy area of more than 40 kilometers very frequented by lovers of water sports such as windsurfing or kitesurfing .
Coves between Calonge and Platja d’Aro
Finally, we want to tell you about the path that goes from San Antoni de Calonge to Platja d’Aro, where you can find small and lonely coves of immense beauty, some of them with real natural pools.
