Dreaming of a Vacation?

How about Costa Brava, Spain?

Located on Spain’s northeastern Mediterranean coast, the Costa Brava region is a captivating destination year-round. The area boasts beautiful beaches, quaint villages, picturesque mountains, and fascinating archaeological sites, making it a popular choice during the summer season. Salvador Dalí, a longtime resident, transformed a former theater in Figueres into one of his most renowned museums, the Dalí Theater Museum.

In July, the region’s beaches are a primary attraction, complemented by music festivals and the annual menú de gamba, a celebration of the local prawn catch in Palamós. Castell Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches on the Costa Brava, is located in Palamós near the remains of an ancient Iberian village dating back to the 6th century B.C.E.
