Costa Brava

Lively tourist resorts, supersized beaches, and Barcelona on the doorstep – holidays to theCosta Brava score on every count.

The most northern of Spain’s Costas, the Costa Brava is probably the prettiest of the lot.It’s made up of rugged cliffs and secluded coves, which give way to fishing villages andseaside towns. In between it all are the long beaches that have been attractingholidaymakers here since the Fifties.

Topping the list are Tossa de Mar’s two Blue Flag stretches. Lloret de Mar, meanwhile,offers up five sand-and-shingle sweeps and a waterfront lined with bars and pubs. Thenthere’s Calella de la Costa, where three kilometres of sands merge into neon-lit clubs andpubs. Family-friendly entertainment is out in force on the Costa Brava, too, in the shapeof waterparks and nearby PortAventura.

Traditional Spain shows its face along the coast, as well. Most resorts wrap around oldtowns of cobbled lanes, plazas and tapas bars. And inland there’s the town of Girona, withits pretty, pastel-coloured buildings edging the river Onyar. But for a taste of city life, headfor Barcelona. Catalonia’s trendy capital doesn’t do anything by halves with its surrealGaudi architecture, fashionable shops and cobbled Gothic quarter.

Beaches

Summer holiday hot spots

There’s a variety pack of beaches in the Costa Brava. There are the touristy ones, whichget lively in summer, and the quieter coves, which are perfect for picnics. The CostaBrava is also one of the best places in southern Spain to go scuba diving. Take a trip tothe Medes Islands, an hour north of Tossa del Mar, and you can swim with shoals ofgrouper.

ShoppingThere’s only one place to head if you really want to shop til you drop – Barcelona. Thiscity’s got its finger firmly on the pulse. No surprise then it’s crammed with trendsettersand fashionistas who know their Manolo Blahniks from their Jimmy Choos. Label-loversflock to the L’Eixample district where Chanel, Prada, Gucci et al rule the roost – especiallyalong the Avenida Diagonal. For more in the way of smart boutiques, check out theRambla de Catalunya and the Passeig de Gracia. Taking it down a notch, you’ve got ElCorte Ingles, Spain’s answer to John Lewis. The branch on the Placa Catalunya isenormous. Spread over nine floors, the chain’s motto ‘hay de todo’ – ‘there’s everything’ –certainly rings true. There’s even a supermarket in the basement. For more in the way ofshopping under one roof, check out the Maremagnum shopping mall down by the port. Butfor a more atmospheric shopping scene, you can’t beat the Gothic quarter AKA the BarriGotic. A mishmash of cobbled streets, it’s packed with little artists’ studios, one-of-a-kindcuriosity shops and Tardis-like antique stores. It’s also the place to come for some seriousforaging. Every Thursday a bric-a-brac market rolls into the Placa Nova selling everythingfrom faded postcards to period jewellery. And talking of markets, check out the daddy ofthem all - La Boqueria. Set along Las Ramblas, it’s actually Europe’s biggest food market.Head inside - making sure to sidestep the rip-off tourist stalls at the front - and you’llchance upon a parallel universe of glistening fish and polished vegetables. The marketradiates out from seafood right in the centre to meat and then vegetables and fruit on theouter edges. Part of the fun is sampling the tasty morsels traders set out to enticepassers-by. The Costa Brava’s biggest markets, meanwhile, are in Tordera and Figueres.Jewellery, ceramics and leather goods are particularly good buys. Don’t worry if you don’twant to head too far to bag yourself a bargain, though. All the seaside resorts have theirshare of souvenir places that won’t hit the pocket and you’ll also find plenty of stylishshops and mall-style centres that’ll keep your credit card occupied.

NightlifeTranslated, Costa Brava means ‘ Wild Coast’. Okay, technically it’s referring to theregion’s beauty, there are plenty of night spots which live up to this name. If you want toparty all night long, Lloret de Mar is the clear winner. Without doubt, this is the mostbuzzing resort after sunset. Bursting with bars and neon-lit nightclubs, it’s got more thanenough to see you through to sunrise. Estartit has a good pick of drinking and dancingvenues, too. And although it’s by no means got ‘wild’ written all over it, Tossa de Mar hasits fair share of late-night cocktail bars and clubs. You can also experience flamenco ifyou head for the streets of Calle Sant Josep, Calle Estolt and Calle Sant Pepe. If youreally want to raise the roof, though, you have to hoot foot it to Barcelona. Evenings heredon’t really get going ‘til late. Don’t be surprised to see bars heaving at two or three in themorning. When last orders are finally called, an almost Biblical exodus takes place astwenty and thirty-somethings decamp to the discos. Clubbers emerge blinking into thesunlight at six-ish and then hotfoot it to the nearest coffee shop for a caffeine fix. Touriststend to make a beeline for Las Ramblas and the Gothic quarter. Packed with cocktail barsand artsy Bohemian boozers, they’re good places to get acquainted with the city’safter-dark scene. Club-wise, the Example district’s got enough funky hotspots to giveLondon a run for its money. The sounds of house and electro-pop crackle from thespeakers while hip hop and techno fills dancefloors everywhere. And the most glitzy andall-out-fabulous shindigs can be found in this part of town, where the rainbow flag’s wavedwith pride. Port Olympic’s another great hangout, especially if you’re here in thesummertime. Outdoor discos and beachfront bars serve sea views with your chartline-ups. But Barcelona’s not just about glitterballs and turntables - a trio of classicalvenues dominates the city’s cultural landscape. Dig out your pashmina or dicky-bow for anight at the Grand Theatre Liceu. All gilt boxes and plush red velvet seats, it’s straight outof Moulin Rouge. Next is the Art Nouveau showstopper that is the Palau de la MusicaCatalana, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. And rounding things off is the Auditori deBarcelona, a modern hall used for large-scale chamber concerts. It’s like we said – youneed lots of stamina to keep up with Barcelona.

• Hula Hula Polynesia Bar, Lloret de Mar Let your hair down in this tropical bar thatshakes up exotic cocktails with names like Mai Tai and Coco Pae Pae.

• Prive de Magic, Lloret de Mar Guest DJs and pumping tunes make sure this is thetown’s trendiest nightclub.

• Dino's Cova, Tossa de Mar Try this little less ordinary cellar bar where dancing anddrinking ‘til late is the norm.

• Razzmatazz, Barcelona You may need a map to find your way around, but this hugeclub is definitely worth the effort. Home to three floors and five arenas, the diverse musicpolicy means you get a real mixed bag of punters. With no dress code and a very lateclosing, it’s definitely one to watch.

• Robadors, Barcelona Sometimes it’s good to dig under the usual commercial hauntsand see a bit of local life. This place is one of those knock-to-get-in bars, tucked down aquiet Raval side street. Inside, you’ll find a jazz den packed with bohemians, hippies, andmusicians enjoying a drink and a smoke.

SightseeingSagrada FamiliaThere can’t be many cities in the world where the main attraction is a building site. But thisis Barcelona, after all. Its star turn, the Sagrada Familia, is little more than a shellsurrounded by cranes and scaffolding rigs. But somehow this half-finished church still netsover two million visitors every year. The reason? It’s like nothing you’ve ever seen.Designed by visionary architect Antoni Gaudi, it seems to defy all building conventions.Angles and reality have been turned on their head, interrupted by the curves and twists offantasy. So much so that its spires look like dribbled candlesticks. Let’s just say this is

one place where a spirit level isn’t part of the toolkit.

Parc GuellYou half expect to see the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland scampering through thisfantasy playground. Another Gaudi special, it’s festooned with cartoony objets d’art. At theentrance you’re welcomed by two Hansel and Gretel-like gatehouses. Beyond them liesone of Barcelona’s most famous faces, a colourful mosaic dragon. He guards the base ofa staircase that sweeps up over the side of a hill. At the top there’s a balcony, bordered bya snaking bench made from broken tiles. Rounding off this leafy wonderland is the Roomof a Hundred Columns – a cavernous hall supported by crooked pillars.

Las RamblasLondon has Covent Garden. Venice has St Mark’s Square. And Barcelona has LasRamblas. Places where people-watching has become a work of art. This famous tree-linedboulevard runs all the way from the main square - Placa Catalunya – down to the sea. It’slined with flower stalls, outdoor cafes and newspaper stands, not mention buskers andstreet performers. Passers-by sway to the strum of Spanish guitars. Onlookers stare atare-they-or-aren’t-they-human statues. And crowds gather around mime artists that aresearching for invisible doorways. Upbeat and lots of fun, Las Ramblas heaves right roundthe clock. One word of advice though, watch your wallet or handbag here.

Barri GoticA jumble of time-worn streets, Barcelona’s Barri Gotic is one of the most impressiveMedieval city centres in Euope. It’s crowning glory is Barcelona Cathedral. Not to beconfused with the Sagrada Familia, this Gothic wonder is straight out of the Notre-Dameschool of masonry. Think vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses and whispering cloisters. Justnext door you’ve got the Palau Reial Major – a 14th-century palace where the SpanishInquisition once sat. On top of all that, the Barri Gotic’s stacked with cubbyhole cafes,blink-and-you’ll-miss-them tapas bars and dusty antique shops. It also happens to be oneof the city’s coolest hangouts. Popular with the quirky, bohemian and downright trendy, it’sa prime posing spot in the evenings.

Camp NouLionel Messi. Thierry Henry. Andrés Iniesta. No, this isn’t a Fantasy Football line up.These goal-scoring legends have all played for Barcelona FC. The arch rival of RealMadrid, Barça – as it’s known - is one of the biggest and richest football clubs in the world.So it’s fitting its home is at Camp Nou. With seating for 98,000 fans and standing room for17,000 more, it’s the biggest stadium in Europe. Head inside and imagine what it’s like onmatch day. Or better still get yourself tickets for a big game. And don’t miss the Museu deBarça, a museum attached to the stadium tracking the history of the club.

MontserratA little inland from Barcelona lies Montserrat, the spiritual heart of Catalonia. All cloisters,courtyards and fortress-thick walls, this mountain-top Benedictine Monastery is incrediblybeautiful. Plus it’s home to Spain’s oldest boy’s choir, artworks by Dali and Picasso andthe revered Black Madonna. This sacred statue was found hidden in a nearby cave – nowknown as the Santa Cova it’s an easy walk from the Monastery. Monastery aside, themountain itself has a few claims to fame. Legend has it the Castle of the Holy Grail oncestood here. And all this history is served with a side-order of soul-stirring views – you cansee all the way to the Balearics from the top.

PortAventuraAbout an hour’s drive from Barcelona is Spain’s biggest theme park, PortAventura.Ride-wise, the 8-loop coaster Dragon Khan is the star attraction here, but there are plentyof other adrenaline-pumpers thrown into the mix. Tutuki Splash plunges from a volcano intoa jungle river. Hurakan Condor free-falls more than 100 metres. Plus Furius Baco speedsfrom 0 to 80mph in less than 3.5 seconds. White-knucklers aside, the park’s split up intothemed zones – Polynesia, Imperial China, Aztec Mexico, the Wild West and the Med. Andthere’s plenty to do if you’re on a go-slow, too. Think fireworks, puppet shows and

professional shows, where you can see everything from Can-Canning saloon girls toback-flipping Chinese acrobats.

FigueresLobster telephones, melting watches and a room decked out to look like Mae West. It couldonly be the work of one man – Salvador Dali. The surrealist painter was born in Figueres.Step into his weird and wonderful world at the Teatro-Museo Dali, the museum founded bythe great man himself back in 1974. And it’s about as far from a stuffy art gallery as youcan get. With its huge glass dome and bright pink towers topped with giant egg shapes, itcaptures this legendary artist’s quirkiness to a T. It’s more theatre than gallery really. Cueceiling paintings of Dali and his wife, massive murals and mechanical devices.

GironaIf you want to experience Catalonia’s traditional side in one fell swoop, don’t miss Girona.This handsome city is a jigsaw of cobbled streets and pastel coloured houses and sits onthe banks of the River Onyar. Pop your head inside the 15th-century Gothic cathedral tosee the jewel-encrusted altar and Europe’s widest Gothic nave. You can also take a look inat the Museu d’Art, one of Catalonia’s best art galleries. Or simply spend your timestrolling through the Jewish quarter and the Centre Bonastruc Ca Porta, a cat’s cradle ofalleyways in the old town.

WaterparksWhether you want to brave big slides, race down twisting tubes or just chill out on a lazyriver, the region’s not short on waterparks. So if a day of thrills and spills is on the agenda,you’re in luck. Water World just outside Lloret de Mar should satisfy the need for white-knuckle speed and it’s also got a good pick of lagoon-style pools to unwind in. Aquadiver inPlatja d’Aro, meanwhile is also full of adventure with plenty of chutes and slides to screamyour way down. Or give Marineland, near Blanes, a go. This waterpark comes with a twist.It’s not just slippery slopes to be had here, there’s a zoo, too. Lastly, Fantasia nearBarcelona is well worth a visit.

Eating outUp along the coast, you’ll find lots of places catering for British palates. All the big resorts- Platja d’Aro, Lloret de Mar and Tossa del Mar - serve up favourites like Sunday roasts andBrit-style breakfasts. But home-from-home cooking aside, this part of Spain cooks upsome of the country’s finest fare. Of course, Barcelona is one of Europe’s gastro capitalswith an army of restaurants and tapas bars. A tapas cert is La Boqueria food market. TVchef Rick Stein filmed part of his Mediterranean Escapes series here and claimed it wasthe best place to eat Catalan food. Tucked among the jumble of stalls are lots of littletapas stands. Come lunchtime, they’re always rammed with locals grazing on big juicyolives, Jamon Serrano and garlic prawns. But it’s not all about tapas. For seafood, look nofurther than Barceloneta, the city’s old fishing district. Its clutch of beachfront restaurantsruns the gamut of no-frills traditional to seriously swanky. Meanwhile, the Born and LaRibera neighbourhoods are where most of the cutting-edge fusion places are springing up.The city’s more prestigious establishments are clustered around the Example and the ZonaAlta. We’re talking top-end restaurants that wear their Michelin stars with pride. But if youwant to get your teeth around some traditional Catalan cooking, check out the Barri Gotic,the Raval and Gracia. Here you can order all-time favourites like ‘arros negre’ – a seafoodrice dish cooked in squid ink – ‘esqueixada’ – a salt cod salad with onion and peppers – and‘botifarra amb mongetes’ – grilled pork sausage with haricot beans. For dessert, sink aspoon into ‘crema catalana’ – a rich egg custard topped with caramelised sugar. On thedrinks front, there’s plenty to choose from. After all, this is cava country with big nameslike Codorniu and Freixenet topping the wine lists. Not to mention reds and whites from thenearby Torres family estate.
