Catalonia is a gastronomic paradise with a great variety of flavors that will leave you speechless. Its weather conditions together with the location, make its raw material have a high quality.

This has also contributed to the appearance of different culinary geniuses with Michelin stars have appeared such as Ferran Adria or the Roca brothers, owners of the Celler de Can Roca, where you can taste their magnificent dishes.

 

Our Enogastronomy 

For centuries and thanks to the influences of our ancestors, wine and cava have formed a very important part of the history of Catalonia. “Terres del Ebre” is one of the most relevant catalan locations with regard to the origins of this product, where you can also learn and taste a wide variety of high quality wines.

On the other hand, many tourists decide to live a different and unique experience where wine is the star.

Routes along the Costa Brava

As many of you know, the Costa Brava is a magical place full of places to visit, there are different ways of approaching the towns that make it up, one of them is through routes. Before knowing which route we want to do, it is important to highlight what we want, if we prefer to do the route with the family, if we will do it on foot or if we prefer to do it by car …

 

One of the routes that we want to recommend to you is the one we can do around Blanes on foot, where you can also find some of our Villas. The route begins at Sa Palomera, this stone stands out for its great magnitude, and if we wish we can go up to get good views of the town. As we move on along the seafront, will be closer to reaching the Sant Joan castle mountain and we will get closer to the fishing and sports port. In this area, we will observe different bars and restaurants to be able to have a drink if we wish. Once we have reached this point, we have two options, either go up the mountain to reach the castle or go through the center of town. Either of the two options is valid, although the easiest is to go up the castle mountain. When we get there, we will have a wonderful view of the entire town, the beach, the seafront, and Sa Palomera. To leave the castle, we will go towards Cala Sant Francesc, we will find the Marimurtra Botanical Garden where you can find a great diversity of plants and a viewpoint that overlooks the Sa Forcanera beach. After the botanical garden, we head towards Cala Sant Francesc, where we can enjoy the food at the Cala Bona restaurant and all the advantages that this beach has.

 

Another of the routes that we can do is the one that encompasses the beaches of Lloret. This route starts from Cala Canyelles and ends in the Santa Cristina beach that is 11 kilometers long and includes many of the most relevant beaches of Lloret de Mar. The next point is Cala Trons, where we can observe a great variety of plants and marine fauna, one of the quietest coves that we can find in Lloret de Mar. If we follow the coastal path and leave the castle behind, we will reach Sa Caleta, which is characterized by being small and welcoming different boats in summer. The Big Beach of Lloret de Mar will be the next one we will find, one of the most popular. The beach that continues is that of Fenals, quite similar to the previous one but a little smaller. Before reaching the last point, we will pass through the Sa Boadella cove, the only virgin beach in Lloret that will leave us fascinated. If we follow this route we will reach the last point, Cala Santa Cristina, emblematic for its location at the foot of the Hermitage of Santa Cristina.

 

These are two examples of routes that can be carried out, but there are many more. We advise you with the accommodation, offering you the villa that best suits your needs and that is closer to the places of your interests. Do you dare to discover the Costa Brava in a unique and unforgettable way?

The charm of Costa Brava: the Camí of Ronda

Good weather accompanies and that is something undoubted, for this reason today we want to recommend one of the most popular and well-known routes on the Costa Brava, the Camí de Ronda.

This route is based on a walking tour, which continues the old Camí de Ronda, along the shores of the Costa Brava coastline. The reason why this route must be done walking is because the paths, where it must be circulated, are quite narrow and there are continuous slopes, ascents and descents. Although on some occasions we will also find flatter sections.

The route is divided into different packs according to the kilometers that are made, the days on which this expedition is going to be carried out and the difficulty. On the other hand, you can also choose between the linear walkway, which is based on a route of 43 kilometers that goes from Sant Feliu de Guixols to Begur. Or the section of the circular walkway, which is 140 kilometers long and begins and ends in Gerona.

As regards accommodation, the organization gives the possibility to choose between different typologies and categories. The options are several, you can choose between hotels, inns, hostels and even rural houses or one of our villas. Although each one is different in itself, all the alternatives have been validated and meet the minimum requirements to adapt to each of the people who carry out this expedition. That breakfast is served first thing in the morning or that all the utensils you need can be cleaned and stored are some of the aspects that are taken into consideration.

In addition, if you decide to embark on this hectic adventure, those responsible recommend contracting an insurance that covers the days of the crossing capable of covering, in the case that you do not have one.

Don’t miss an opportunity like this to discover the Costa Brava, you can also choose one of our villas to stay during this trip.
