The best golf on the Costa Brava

Girona, between sea and mountains

The Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees, though compact on the map, are brimming with diversity and vitality. Nearly a third of its surface area is protected as a natural space, with eight natural parks offering vastly different landscapes: from a striking volcanic zone to hidden coves, expansive beaches, and dramatic cliffs, not to mention wetlands, verdant valleys, and high mountain peaks. A rich, varied, and contrasting natural environment.
Its fishing and mountain villages retain an authentic charm, and in every corner, vestiges of the past emerge: prehistoric sites, Iberian settlements, Greco-Roman ruins, medieval towns, and Romanesque churches and monasteries that tell centuries of history.
The cultural heritage is also remarkable. Highlights include the paintings of the Olot school and the universal influence of Salvador Dalí, one of the great figures of Surrealism. Added to this is a dynamic and participatory culture, with traditional festivals, fairs, and local markets, as well as numerous festivals of music, theater, magic, and other artistic disciplines.
And as a final touch, a gastronomy with its own unique identity that combines sea and mountains, tradition and innovation, placing the Costa Brava and the Girona Pyrenees on the international culinary map.
In this small but magnificent region, the only thing missing is you. Can you imagine hiking trails, skiing, cycling, playing golf, or enjoying water sports? Discovering the wine routes of the Empordà DO wines? Relaxing in a thermal spa? Now imagine experiencing it all firsthand.
