What to do and see on a journey along the Costa Brava
Explore hidden beaches
Exploring the Costa Brava means discovering some of Spain’s most beautiful and lesser-known beaches. Here, away from crowded tourist spots, you’ll find secluded beaches like Cala Estreta, a small paradise accessible only on foot or by sea, perfect for those seeking tranquility and contact with pure nature.
Cala Tavallera is another hidden gem along the Costa Brava, a place where time seems to have stopped. This secluded cove is only reachable by a scenic trail through the Mediterranean scrub, offering stunning views of the crystal-clear sea.
For an even more secluded experience, Cala Futadera, known as the cove of a thousand steps due to its steep path, offers a perfect refuge.
Discover medieval villages
The Costa Brava is not only famous for its pristine beaches but also for its picturesque medieval villages, offering a dive into the past and a charming atmosphere. During your motorhome trip along this coast, you cannot miss visiting some of the most evocative villages.
Pals is one of these: located on a hill, it overlooks the surrounding countryside, with cobbled streets and stone houses that tell stories of centuries past.
Continuing your itinerary, Peratallada will captivate you with its perfectly preserved appearance. This village is a real gem of medieval architecture, with its fortifications, still visible moat, and narrow streets leading to hidden squares.
Finally, Tossa de Mar, besides being a known seaside resort, retains an incredible historic center enclosed within ancient medieval walls. Here, the castle that stands above the village offers breathtaking views of the sea, and its walls enclose a network of alleys that make you feel as if you’ve stepped back in time.
Immerse yourself in nature
The Costa Brava is a true paradise for nature lovers, offering a wide range of landscapes from cliffs overlooking the sea to lush forest trails, ideal for exploration in an motorhome. Take advantage of your freedom on four wheels to fully immerse yourself in these extraordinary natural environments.
The Cap de Creus Natural Park, for instance, is one of the most emblematic places for those seeking direct contact with wild nature. Here you can walk through rocky trails that offer spectacular views of hidden bays and crystal-clear waters.
Another must-visit for travelers in motorhomes is the Aiguamolls de l’Empordà Natural Park, one of Spain’s most important wetlands, hosting abundant biodiversity, especially in terms of bird species. Here, birdwatching enthusiasts can spend hours watching seasonal migrations and numerous species that stop during their journey.
For hiking enthusiasts, the Camí de Ronda offers a series of trails along the coast, allowing you to discover secluded coves, small coastal villages where time seems to have stopped, and breathtaking views of the Mediterranean.
Art and culture: must-see visits
The Costa Brava is not just a destination of extraordinary natural beauty but also a melting pot of art and culture. For enthusiasts of history and art, this region offers multiple opportunities to discover cultural treasures that enrich every motorhome trip.
The Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres is a must-visit for those exploring the Costa Brava. Founded by Salvador Dalí himself, the museum is an artwork in itself, with its bizarre facade and extravagant interiors that house the widest collection of the artist’s works.
For those looking for a dip into the past, the ruins of Empúries offer a window into the Greek and Roman civilizations that once dominated this part of the world. Situated directly on the coast, these ruins are among the most important in the Mediterranean for their history and state of preservation.
The Peralada Castle is another cultural jewel, known not only for its imposing architecture but also for its summer music festival, which attracts internationally renowned artists. The castle also houses a library and a wine museum, offering a refined combination of history, music, and oenology.
Finally, the Girona Cathedral, with its impressive Gothic facade and the original creation carpet from the 11th century, represents a cultural landmark that enchants visitors with its majesty and rich historical heritage.
Savor local flavors
The Costa Brava is not just a place of scenic beauty and fascinating history, but it is also a unique stop for gastronomy lovers. The region is renowned for its fresh local produce and traditional Catalan cuisine, which skillfully blends the fruits of the sea with those of the land.
The seafood paella is one dish that you must not miss on your menu while traveling in a motorhome along the Costa Brava. This dish, rich in flavors of the sea, such as shrimp, mussels, and squid, combined with saffron-flavored rice, offers an authentic taste of the local cuisine in a single plate. The suquet de peix, a thick and aromatic fish soup, is another traditional dish that reflects the essence of Catalan cuisine. For those with a sweet tooth, the cremat, a typical Costa Brava flambéed coffee, offers a spectacular conclusion to any meal.
In addition to dishes, the Costa Brava is also famous for its wines, with numerous local wineries producing white and red wines that perfectly match the cuisine of the region.
