Area Description

The best parts of the Costa Brava are still truly beautiful, with the northerly stretch dotted with perfect small beaches in rocky coves surrounded by pine clad hills.

Because of the rugged coast the region hasn't seen anywhere near the mass of new developments that have sprung up in the Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol and being only an hour or so from the resorts in the South of France, the Costa Brava is a lot closer to the rest of mainland Europe.

The Catalan cuisine is, no doubt, one of the most outstanding in Spain. The cuisine is based on a mixture of the land and the sea, of the sweet and the salty.

The Costa Brava boasts excellent sporting facilities including cycling, hand-gliding, parachuting, horse riding, hiking and golf. There are also watersports available at the numerous yacht clubs and marinas. Windsurfing, waterskiing, sailing and diving to name but a few.

An abundance of museums can be found throughout the Costa Brava, perhaps the most famous being the Salvador Dali museum in Figueres, which attracts hundreds of visitors daily, his home in nearby Cadaques is also well worth a visit.

There are a variety of beaches near to Casa Nora, ranging from tiny rocky coves to long flat stretches of golden sand.

Depending on whether you want to spend the day underwater swimming, wind surfing or exerting all your energy sunbathing, there is a beach to suit your needs.

Pals Beach
Pals beach is a long, flat and sandy beach close to Casa Nora. Ideal for sunbathing, swimming and wind surfing.

Sa Riera
Sa Riera is very close to Pals beach, in fact, you can walk from Pals beach to Sa Riera. It does, however, mean crossing Playa Nudista.

Aigublava
A beautiful cove at the end of a winding road through a hillside of pine trees and villas.

Tamariu
Tamariu is a pretty fishing village. Small cafes and shops on a broad promenade surround a beautiful beach. Tamariu has its own scuba diving school.

Llafranc
Llafranc is a pretty resort with an attractive promenade of restaurants and cafes surrounding a safe sandy beach.

Calella de Palafrugell
This small fishing village sits in small secluded beach cove. Calella de Palafrugell is stunningly beautiful and charming, and is home to excellent fish restaurants. Visits to this cove makes a most enjoyable day or evening out.

Golfers have discovered on the Costa Brava, a destination with many golf courses open all year round, with a Mediterranean climate and very mild temperatures which helps the courses remain in perfect condition. Quality, variety and the spectacular are featured in courses.

The course styles are varied including links and parkland layouts which are often lined with impressive pines, cork and oak trees, whilst others include water hazards and large undulating greens. The environment has provided this area with a privileged landscape, where golf courses have been perfectly adapted and carefully respect the environment around them.

Driving ranges have been perfectly prepared for those who want to take up with this wonderful game. Several driving ranges have more than 100 practice bays, as well as pitching and putting greens.... and most of them are pleased to welcome groups bringing their own teaching pro to make the most of the winter season on the Costa Brava.

Maybe, this is another reason why the European PGA has decided to establish their first PGA course in Spain close to Girona, in the heart of the Costa Brava. The PGA Golf de Catalunya is unquestionably the "jewel in the crown".

In addition to this, other courses such as Pals, Emporda and Peralada have hosted the PGA Pre-Qualifying School II.
