COSTA BRAVA
PIRINEU DE GIRONA
COSTA BRAVA & GIRONA PYRENEES
Wonderful, remarkable, fantastic, amazing, exciting... It is impossible to choose a single adjective that encompasses the appeal of the Costa Brava and Girona Pyrenees: it is a small region that generates massive emotions.
The landscape changes from snow-capped mountains that tower three thousand metres above sea level to the Mediterranean’s stunning coves in a question of kilometres. In this short journey from land to sea you can visit eight spectacular natural parks; enjoy exquisite Michelin-starred cuisine that pairs tradition and innovation; discover the region’s rich cultural heritage through its Greco-Roman ruins, medieval villages, the work of Salvador Dalí and other artists; enjoy an extensive range of memory-making activities that include hot air balloon rides, skiing, golf, water sports, and simply unwinding at one of the region’s many spas.
It is an extraordinary place that invites you to experience all its charm and character to the fullest with first-rate premium experiences and the most exclusive services.
