Located not very far away from the French boarder, is a popular destination for you to spend your Costa Brava holidays in: L'Estartit.

L'Estartit is a small town with not many inhabitants, but this makes it an excellent place for holidays in Costa Brava. Like many villages and towns along the Costa Brava, L'Estartit has been originally mainly a fishing village. But now tourism is its main sector, although fishing is still important.

The surrounding is beautiful; you can sail; windsurf or even dive near the port of L'Estartit or simply walk along the famous beaches (15 km) and enjoy the sight. There is also a mountain range which offers you a wonderful sight over the sea. You have a lot of Costa Brava hotels in L'Estartit that are close to the harbor, so I suggest booking one to wake up and immediately enjoy the sea.

One thing you have to see and admire are the Medes Islands or Islas Medas, a group of seven small islands that are protected by the Catalonian government. The islands were inhabited in the past, but nowadays they are not inhabited. The only building on the biggest Islet La Meda Gran, a lighthouse, was inhabited until 1930 but today is it automatic.

Molinet is the closest point to the Medes Islands, so you can walk towards this spot and observe the islands from there. But usually you can also see the islands from whole L'Estartit, so if you have a nice Costa Brava apartment in L'Estartit you can watch the islands from your room's window. 

If you wish to dive and explore the Medes Islands underwater, please be aware that there are strict regulations and special licences required. This is due to the need to protect this area and its plants and animals. So check the L'Estartit site to inform you about the regulations! And please respect the rules.

Golf in L'Estartit is also very popular, so you can use your Costa Brava holiday for that, too! Places for golf are the golf clubs Mont-Pla and Jocs, which offer you a beautiful location combined with your favorite sport during your holiday in Costa Brava.

Whether you like more sport activities or calm holidays, Costa Brava holidays in L'Estartit are always a good solution!

A perfect Costa Dorada holiday is not the same without visiting Cambrils.

Cambrils is a town directly located at the Costa Dorada, Spain. It lies in the Catalonia region of Spain.
Deciding to book a Costa Dorada hotel in Cambrils means experiencing a wonderful holiday time in one of the most popular locations along the coast.

Cambrils is a city with Roman origin and because of this there are still some signs showing the heritage, such as the architecture. But the city is still growing today, mainly due to the increasing tourism.

Family holiday is also a good reason to book accommodation in Cambrils, because it is not very far away from PortAventura Salou, so you can book the tickets for that in advance. If you think Salou is too active, Cambrils offers you a calm and relaxing location where you can replenish your health and soak up the sun!

The port of Cambrils is interesting to visit; if you like seeing boats and yachts you should absolutely see them at night or in the evening when it's dark. The harbor is illuminated and this makes an absolutely impressing sight!

Furthermore you have to visit one of the two parks in Cambrils, or if you can both. They are the Parc del Pescador (Fisher's park) and the Parc del Pinaret. Both parks are really huge and act as an oasis to enjoy your visit, to take a break from everything and to take a walk along the beautiful structure of the park. In the Parc del Pescador, Cambrils, there are many different types of plants and trees and a wonderful pond where you can stay.

Sometimes there are also musical events and festivals you shouldn't miss. The park del Pinaret is also stunning, it has also a lot of different trees and plants and many places where you can just sit down and relax.

For vacationers who are interested in Cambrils history, there is an archaeological site with ruins of an ancient Roman villa. Propably around 2000 years old, this ruin is like a portal that connects the past with today. Don't miss this! History-interested people should also visit the museums in Cambrils. There is the Museu Molí de les Tres Eres and the Museu Agrícola de Cambrils, which are both part of the Museu d'Història de Cambrils.

If you have a Cambrils holiday rental that is close to the sanctuary of the Virgin Mary (Ermita de la Mare), you should also see that. Next to the hermitage there is a tower which is a Cultural Asset of National Interest. Another tower in Cambril that you should visit during you Cambrils holiday is the watch tower Torre del Port. It was originally build to watch out for pirates (which was a large risk for towns around the coast). It is the characteristic of Cambrils.

You see, you have a lot of possibilities in Cambrils, for families as well as for couples or friends. Families who want to avoid the fuller location of Salou can book Costa Dorada hotels in Cambrils and the tickets Port Aventura, which is close.

Couples can also book a Cambrils hotel and enjoy their time together in the many romantic spots Cambrils offers. And friends can of course also have a good time at the Cambrils beach and bars and clubs along the city at night.

If you want to experience a wonderful seafood dinner during your next Costa Brava holiday, you should consider prawn eating in Palamós. The fishing town is located in the Girona province and is a popular destination for Costa Brava holidays as it is directly at the sea and offers a wonderful sight!

Fishing in Palamós is very important for the town; it is the most important sector besides the manifacture of cork and of course tourism. The ship fleet is therefore very important for the region. But what makes this small fishing town famous are their prawns, or gambas. When you think about prawn eating in Palamós, you can be sure to have the biggest and most delicious prawns in the Costa Brava.

The red colored gambas have a unique flavor and therefore are well-known in Catalonia and the local fishers carry loads and loads of them back home. The restaurants and fish-shop owners buy their fish and seafood directly from the fishers every day and so you can eat delicious seafood dishes from Palamós in the evening, freshly caught and made! Try to find a Costa Brava holiday home in Palamós that is near the port, so you can watch the ships leave early in the morning and return in the evening.

Prawn eating in Palamós, Costa Brava is of course possible in one of the many local restaurants. A famous restaurant is "La Gamba" (what a suitable name!) and it is located at the Placa Sant Pere, directly at the harbor. Try to be there a little bit in advance, as I mentioned it is quite famous! But in case you prefer something else, around the port are many bars and restaurants that offer quality seafood dishes too.

But of course instead of going to a good restaurant, you can try to cook by yourself! If you buy fresh prawns or other fish from the shop, you can prepare and cook them in your Costa Brava apartment or hotel! Prices for gambas differ widely, depending on many circumstances. But now that the summer months are slowly over, prawn prices are much cheaper. This is only another reason to book Costa Brava Accommodation now!

But gambas are not the only thing Palamos offers: It also home of Catalonias oldest football club, Palamós CF! The football club Palamos was established in 1898, and although it is not too successful, football is still popular in Palamos.

In case you prefer another Costa Brava holiday destination, you can also look for an apartment or hotel in Girona. It is not too far and you have the possibility to visit Palamos for a day to enjoy the gambas.

Do you like charming little towns and villages that are located along the sea? Then you have to spend you next holidays in Costa Dorada!

L'Ametlla de Mar is also called La Cala (it means The Cove) and is a wonderful Costa Dorada holiday destination. It developed as a fishing town and this is still the main activity of L'Ametlla de Mar and if you like tuna fish, you should see the tuna fishing boats (they are the most important fleet for tuna in Catalonia). Furthermore, L'Ametlla de Mar has a large sailing club for those of you who want to spend your Costa Dorada vacation on a boat. You can also walk around the beautiful harbor (one of the most important harbors in the region) and look at the sea.

  It is best to book a Costa Dorada hotel directly in L'Ametlla de Mar so you don't have to travel a lot and can see the most of L'Ametlla. But of course, it is also possible to visit the town by train. You can either travel from Valencia or from Barcelona by train, but the Reus airport is only 35 km away.

After you arrived, you can immediately see the wonderful coastline which is about 14 km long. Along the coast there are cliffs and the typical pine trees giving L'Ametlla its true Mediterranean feeling. It is a quiet and calm town perfect for those who want to avoid crowded beaches.

You absolutely have to visit the Museum of popular Ceramics when you are spending your Costa Dorada vacation in L'Ametlla, it is really interesting to see. The museum has two floors full of ceramics from whole Spain and it's the largest museum in Europe with its 4500 pieces.

Not far away is also La Cala de Sant Jordi, another fishing town located at the coastline. Remember to visit this town as well, because there are ruins of an historical castle, the Castle Sant Jordi. If you like history and religion, it is interesting to know that in this castle was the Order of Sant Jordi, which is known to have been the only part of the Templar Knights in Catalonia. Built on the ruins, there is a renovated castle nowadays.
 

What is interesting for families is that L'Amitlla de Mar is not very far awar from Port Aventura Park, also located on the Costa Dorada. So if you are searching for a Port Aventura hotel, L'Ametlla de Mar could be a wonderful solution for you. An exciting family vacation is guaranteed with a stay in this wonderful fishing town, as well as for couples!
