Coveting the Costa Brava
Looking for a beautiful European summer getaway in 2025? Then the Costa Brava on the on the north east coast Mediterranean coast of Spain is your destination! The coast here is dotted with beautiful fishing villages, fantastic beaches and beautiful clear water. The Costa Brava also has fantastic nature parks so it’s a nature lovers paradise also. Costa Brava airport is located very close to Girona the main city of the Costa brava, there are bus services from the airport to the city centre, however they don’t run very regularly. I would suggest hiring a car so you can really enjoy visiting different beaches and villages along the Costa Brava coast.

Costa Brava with friends 🗺️
#grouptravel
Just got back from an epic trip to Costa Brava with friends, and I can’t recommend it enough! We stayed in a cute Airbnb near Tossa de Mar, a medieval town with narrow streets and a stunning beach. No entrance fee to visit the old town, which has breathtaking views of the coastline, especially from the castle. We spent our days lounging on the beach and exploring nearby coves like Cala Pola—definitely worth the short hike!
The nightlife in Lloret de Mar is super fun if you’re looking for bars and clubs, just a 15-minute drive away. For something a bit more laid-back, we loved stopping by the small coastal towns like Begur and Cadaqués. Cadaqués, in particular, was a gem—quiet, artsy, and great for seafood dinners with a view.
Renting a car is a must to explore the region, and it’s so worth it for the hidden spots you’ll find along the way. Every beach was like something out of a postcard, with crystal-clear water and rocky cliffs. Can’t wait to go back!

#summerdestinations #bali #barcelona #costabrava #spain #indonesia My long summer vacation has started from visiting my parents in Spain and hanging out in Barcelona . An amusing city with hundreds of sightseeings and impressive cultural heritage. Spanish food is delicious and the sun is merciful.
Then I took a flight to my best friend on Bali , Indonesia. We explored a sea flora and fauna in Uluwatu town and moved to Canggu for surfing , and finally to ubud town (my fav <3 ) for yoga, incredible food and stunning rice terraces and waterfalls. Also advise to visit the hot springs , scattered around Badung volcano. For shopping: Kuta and its wholesale markets , especially for fabric. I’m grateful for my great trip and wish the readers to chill even better !
Costa Brava Spain 🇪🇸

I just got back from an unforgettable summer vacation on Spain’s Costa Brava! The rugged coastline and charming villages made for a perfect getaway. One highlight was visiting the picturesque town of Tossa de Mar, where the old town walls and the beautiful beach offered a mix of history and relaxation. The entrance to the medieval castle was €5, and the views from the top were absolutely worth it.
Another must-see is the Salvador Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, about a 40-minute drive away. The ticket cost €15, and the surreal art and quirky exhibits were fascinating. I also loved exploring the coastal paths and hidden coves along the coastline—each turn seemed to reveal a new stunning beach or charming village.
Costa Brava is a true gem, offering everything from cultural experiences to breathtaking natural beauty. 🌊🏰 #trip #CostaBrava #SpanishCoast #BeachEscape #ArtAndHistory #TravelSpain
