Costa Brava

Girona's wild coast — Begur, Cadaqués, Palamós.

The Costa Brava is Catalonia's rugged northern coast, from Blanes to the French border: pine-covered headlands, small coves, stone villages and a summer season that draws Barcelona and Europe. It is more seasonal and more discreet than the southern coasts. What Dominium publishes here is a small, growing selection; every enquiry is handled personally.

Lifestyle

Begur and Aiguablava, Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell, Cadaqués and Roses each have their own character — sailing, walking the coastal path, long lunches. Girona, forty minutes inland, is a cultured university city; Barcelona is an hour and a half away. Winters are quiet.
