16 Things to Do When Staying at a Villa in Costa Brava
You will find several amazing villas on the eastern coast of Spain. One of my favorites is sited barely 60 kilometers outside of Barcelona and is approximately a six-hour drive northeast from the Costa Blanca, near the middle of the Costa Brava. Costa Brava, meaning rugged or wild coast, is located in the north-eastern region of Catalonia, Spain and stretches from the French border almost all the way to Barcelona. Appropriate for all age groups Costa Brava includes a variety of coastal landscape, abundant beaches, family fun and historical fascinating places. The following are the top 16 things to see and do when staying at your very own villa Costa Brava: 1) De L’Emporda National Park One of the biggest national parks in the entire Northern Spain De L’Emporda National Park is known for its many varities of birds. 2) Castell de Pubol Castell de Pubol was the residence of the wife of Dali, one of the most famous Spanish artists during the 20th century. 3) Water World This isn’t a Kevin Costner movie, but one of Europe’s largest family water parks, which contains a 250-metre long rubber raft rides. 4) Lloret de Mar Beach Lloret de Mar Beach is always rewarded the Blue Flag for maintaining cleanliness, is the major white sand beach which stretches along 1630 meters. 5) Santa Clotilde Gardens These Italian Renaissance style gardens planned by Nicolau Rubio i Tuduri are sited on top of a peak overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. 6) Modernist Cemetery Designed at the end of the nineteenth century the Modernist Cemetery provides an amazing look into funerary art of the time. 7) The Municipal Museum The museum contains the work of architects that visited the place in the 1930s. 
Bar Europa Bar Europa is a friendly no frills type of bar, with the cheapest beer in Tossa . 9) Sant Antoni de Calonge Sant Antoni de Calonge is a tiny village of 8.200 people, which is comprised of the village of Calonge and the coastal centre of St. Antoni. The Medieval Tower is an Baroque style church of the 18th century and a few amazing and fresh beaches, are worth visiting. 10) The Ruins of Empuries Empuries were founded in 575 BC by Greek pioneers and was afterwards occupied by the Romans. In the Early Middle Ages the town was abandoned and the ruins are still there just between the Costa Brava town of L’Escala and the village of Sant Marti. 11) Castell de Sant Joan Castell de Sant Joan is a medieval palace constructed in 11th century. Today only the castle’s tower remains and it offers an excellent view of the surrounding area. 12) Can Comadran Can Comadran, also recognized as Casa Font, is a huge mansion which was built in 1877 in the contemporary manner. 13) Parish Church of Sant Roma A gothic church, built in the year 1522 and later on in the early twentieth century, the Parish Church of Sant Roma, has been transformed into an amazingly attractive building which is influenced by the Byzantine, Muslim, Renaissance and the Modernist 14) Puig de Castellet Iberian Settlement This walled decision, was occupied between 250-210 BC, is sited on the north-west part of a hill with a remarkable sight of the whole coastline, yet it is absolutely unseen from the sea. 15) Santa Cristina Hermitage Santa Cristina Hermitage dates back in the year 1376 is worth watching. Yet the existing temple was designed at the completion of the 18th century and is in the neo-classical manner. 16) Marimurtra Botanical Gardens You will be excited to see a spectacular view of Marimurtra Botanical Gardens on the southern heights of Costa Brava. An unique aspect of the gardens is the two week flowering and leaf color varying cycle, that makes each visit a new experience.
