Advantages: Could get cheap flights here, clean and well-run Disadvantages: Not really Barcelona as it is billed, lack of seating
Cheeky Ryanair! Although they do fly to the city of Barcelona, they bill their flights to Girona as "Girona (Barcelona)" even though it is more than an hour's drive down the motorway to the larger city. Just as well my flights were cheap as the return coach fare to Barcelona costs Euro12 per adult single and Euro21 return. Girona Airport is situated 103 Kilometres north of Barcelona (approximately 64 miles).
In fact, the airport bills itself as "Girona - CostaBrava" and, indeed, many of the passengers on our flight did not board the coach to Barcelona but appeared to be picking up hire cars to head for resorts on the coast. (Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar are nearby). Budget and economy airlines from across Europe use this airport from fifty-five airports. Holiday charters use the airport too.

Advantages: Beautiful Villa, Scenic Location Disadvantages: A little too isolated?
The Villa is certainly aptly named. Perched on a hillside high above the historic fishing port of Palamos, El Mirador (which translates as 'the Lookout' in Spanish) commands spectacular, panoramic vistas along the coastline and across the fringes of the beautiful CostaBrava.
We had driven southwards from Girona, towards Palamos, then Calonge. At this point, the crumpled, supplied directions from the owner were tugged out, and we had pressed on. El Mirador, it seemed, was up there on the hill, at the very edge of Calonge. The road wound its way through a fairly modern development, a slightly confused melange of poorly signposted streets, each street lined with new, look-a-like villas, and each villa as attractively bland and featureless as the next. Finally, we passed an older house near the top, with a rocky front garden peopled ...
Advantages: Not too crowded, good accommodation, good weather, Spanish culture Disadvantages: Barcelona's traffic, lack of genuine sandy beaches
for the lack of genuine sandy beaches, I came across only 1, at Aigua Blava.
Still, there was alot to do in and around the area. I spent a day taking in Barcelona, which is somewhere you must go to, and another day in the nearby town of Girona, famous for bull fights, although there was plenty to do otherwise, and there was an incredible range of ice cream flavours.
Staying on the coasts, the resorts of Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell were good to look around in the evening, and both had excellent Mini-Golf courses, if that matters, which it does to me.
One thing lacking from the CostaBrava was good restaurants, bud my advice for that is to go inland. Personally, the best restaurants i've been to were in the Algarve. Spain is also alot cheaper than France, but more expensive than Portugal (for an in depth opinion on the Algarve, see my ...
