That was a nice quick overview of the Costa Brava and brought back so many pleasant memories. I used to live in Empuriabrava many years ago and though I've been living in Tenerife ever since my heart still belongs to the Costa Brava! I love all the towns and villages you mentioned (especially Cadaqués) and would like to add another one of my favourites. Toroella de Montgrí. I used to go to the mercadillo in the Plaça de la Vila on most Mondays. I'll never forget that beautiful atmosphere! I hope one day I'll be back to what I still consider to be my second home (my first being my hometown in Germany). 🙏🏼😎

do you recommend doing this in december?

[@AFARmedia]

It will still be beautiful in December, but you may find a few restaurants and things closed during that time. We'd recommend going spring - fall.
