Costa Brava



I have been coming on holiday to the Costa Brava since I was 4 years old, but I only truly got to know and fall in love with this beautiful part of Spain over the last 20 years, after my mother moved here.

Since then I have visited many times and last year my partner and I made our visit last a little longer...sort of permanent!


When ever we were planning our next trip to Spain we would scour the internet looking for information on things to see and do, but could never find anything that really gave us what we were looking for...the real Costa Brava (the real place, written by real people, that really know it).

So, we decided to create our own website for this very special place, with all the information we have gathered after years lying on its beaches, scuba diving in its sea, eating in its restaurants, walking its stunning countryside and getting caught up in the atmosphere of its many festivals.

By sharing our experiences we hope to provide you with all the information you need to have a truly wonderful holiday.
