Its landscape is made up of reddish rocks dropping into the sea, pine trees growing almost at the water\u2019s edge, small coves (<em>cales<\/em>) and former fishing villages with white houses. Along the coast runs the historic path <em>Cam\u00ed de Ronda<\/em>, and many of its sections can be walked from cove to cove.<\/p>\n<p>The region has several distinctly different faces. In the north, in Alt Empord\u00e0, the rugged, windswept landscape of the Cap de Creus Natural Park and artistic Cadaqu\u00e9s dominate. The central part, Baix Empord\u00e0, is home to the most sought-after towns \u2013 Begur, Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu \u2013 with a hinterland of fields, medieval villages and stone <em>masies<\/em>. The south, around Lloret de Mar and Blanes, is more built-up and geared towards mass tourism.<\/p>\n<p>Life here is calmer than in the south of Spain. The day revolves around a morning coffee in the square, the market, lunch at a seaside restaurant and a sunset stroll. Empord\u00e0 cuisine is known for combining \u201csea and mountains\u201d (<em>mar i muntanya<\/em>), anchovies from L\u2019Escala, prawns from Palam\u00f3s and local DO Empord\u00e0 wines. In summer the region comes alive with festivals and concerts, while out of season many smaller towns noticeably slow down.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-02b9b8d fs-art elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"02b9b8d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Climate and weather<\/h2>\n<p>The Costa Brava has a Mediterranean climate with four distinct seasons. Summers are warm and sunny but usually less scorching than in the south of the country, and winters are mild, though cooler than on the Costa del Sol or in the Canary Islands.<\/p>\n<p>For reference: according to AEMET climate normals (1981\u20132010), at the Girona Aeropuerto station the average January temperature is around 7\u00b0C (average maximum around 13\u00b0C) and the average July temperature around 23.6\u00b0C (average maximum around 30\u00b0C). The station lies inland; right by the sea, winters are usually slightly milder and the summer heat less noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>The beach season realistically runs from June to September, while May, June, September and October are the most pleasant months for living and exploring. A characteristic feature of the northern part of the region is the <em>tramuntana<\/em> \u2013 a strong, cold northerly wind that is felt particularly around Cap de Creus and Roses. The region is well suited to year-round living, provided you choose a town that does not \u201cshut down\u201d after the season.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a242a3 fs-art-img elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8a242a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2200\" height=\"1115\" src=\"https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-839\" alt=\"Skalista zatoka Cala d&apos;Aiguafreda w Begur na Costa Brava\" srcset=\"https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1.jpg 2200w, https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1-300x152.jpg 300w, https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1-1024x519.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1-768x389.jpg 768w, https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1-1536x778.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/formentera.studio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/costa-brava-begur-cala-aiguafreda-1-2048x1038.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2200px) 100vw, 2200px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Photo: Jordi Vich Navarro \/ Unsplash<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1af9459 fs-art elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1af9459\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>The most interesting towns for buying property<\/h2>\n<h3>Begur<\/h3>\n<p>A medieval hilltop town with castle ruins, colonial <em>indianos<\/em> houses and access to some of the most beautiful coves in the region: Aiguablava, Sa Tuna and Aiguafreda. It is the address for those seeking an exceptional sea view, privacy and a boutique character. Villas on the hillsides and houses in the historic centre predominate; supply is limited and prices are among the highest on the Costa Brava.<\/p>\n<h3>Calella de Palafrugell, Llafranc and Tamariu<\/h3>\n<p>Three seaside villages in the municipality of Palafrugell that are regarded as the essence of the Costa Brava. Calella charms with its white houses above the fishing boats and the Cap Roig gardens, Llafranc with its elegant promenade on the bay, and Tamariu with its intimacy. Ideal for a second home and family summers. Out of season they are very quiet, while normal year-round life carries on in nearby Palafrugell.<\/p>\n<h3>Cadaqu\u00e9s<\/h3>\n<p>A white town at the end of a winding road, surrounded by the Cap de Creus Natural Park and associated with Salvador Dal\u00ed, who lived in nearby Portlligat. It attracts artists and people looking for a place with soul rather than convenience. You have to accept a longer journey, the tramuntana and very limited supply \u2013 but for many, that is precisely its greatest appeal.<\/p>\n<h3>S\u2019Agar\u00f3 and Platja d\u2019Aro<\/h3>\n<p>S\u2019Agar\u00f3 is an exclusive garden estate designed in the 1920s, with seafront villas and a stretch of the Cam\u00ed de Ronda. Neighbouring Platja d\u2019Aro is its opposite: lively, with a long beach and shops and restaurants open for most of the year. Together, the pair suit people who want peace and quiet at home and every amenity just a few minutes away.<\/p>\n<h3>Pals and the Baix Empord\u00e0 hinterland<\/h3>\n<p>A few kilometres from the sea lie stone medieval villages \u2013 Pals, Peratallada, Monells \u2013 surrounded by fields, orchards and golf courses. This is the direction for those dreaming of a restored <em>masia<\/em> with a garden and pool, peace and space, with the beach a short drive away.<\/p>\n<h3>L\u2019Escala and L\u2019Estartit<\/h3>\n<p>Family-friendly towns on the Bay of Roses: L\u2019Escala is famous for its anchovies and the ancient ruins of Emp\u00faries, L\u2019Estartit for its proximity to the Medes Islands and the Montgr\u00ed, Medes and Baix Ter Natural Park, much loved by divers. A more reasonable price level than in Begur, more apartments and practical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<h3>Palam\u00f3s<\/h3>\n<p>A genuine fishing port, famous for its prawns, <em>gamba de Palam\u00f3s<\/em>, with a marina, schools and services open all year round. A good choice for those who want to live on the Costa Brava permanently, not just spend their holidays here.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a41b81 fs-art elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6a41b81\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Why buy property here?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Good transport links.<\/strong> Girona-Costa Brava Airport is about 12.5 km from Girona, and the main Barcelona-El Prat airport, with a very wide network of routes (including to Poland), lies south of the region.

If you value intimate coves, good food and the proximity of Girona and Barcelona \u2013 and mild but real winters do not bother you \u2013 this region may be for you. If your priority is a high year-round rental return or guaranteed winter warmth, it is worth comparing it with the south of Spain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"fs-sources\">Sources: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aemet.es\/es\/serviciosclimaticos\/datosclimatologicos\/valoresclimatologicos?l=0367&#038;k=cat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AEMET \u2013 Girona Aeropuerto climate normals (1981\u20132010)<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aena.es\/en\/girona-costa-brava.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aena \u2013 Girona-Costa Brava Airport<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/canalempresa.gencat.cat\/ca\/03_sectors_d_activitat\/06_hostaleria_i_turisme\/establiments_turistics\/habitatges_d_us_turistic\/DL3_2023\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Generalitat de Catalunya \u2013 Decret llei 3\/2023<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/parcsnaturals.gencat.cat\/ca\/illes-medes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Parcs Naturals de Catalunya<\/a>.
