We woke up later than we had wanted on Friday, feeling the aftermath of too much alcohol. We managed to get up and were on the road by 11am, heading to the Coast Brava.
There are many beautiful parts of this coastline and unfortunately we just did not have time to see it all. We took advice from my stepmom and her family and headed towards Palafrugell and worked our way up the coast.
We started in the small town called Calella. We parked the car and started walking. We walked along the beach, traversing another beach town, Llfranc. The coves that make up this coastline are beautiful. The water is very clear, and the way the mountainous and treelined area falls towards the Mediterranean is breathtaking. The rocky coast is unique to this northern coastline and it is a very popular tourist destination.
We got back in the car and headed further north towards Begur. The winding roads in this area provide amazing views and the drive itself was just as fun as walking on the beach. We followed the road to Platja Aiguablava, a small beach tucked into the coast.
It was beautiful! Like nothing I have ever seen. It was a perfect mix of mountains, forest, and the beach. We stayed at the beach for about two hours, had lunch, and then made our way back to Girona.
We spent the evening with family as they showed us around the older parts of Girona. We walked around the Jewish quarter, through the narrow streets, around the cathedral, and across four of the walking bridges in the city. It was really neat to walk around where my stepmom grew up and visit places that I know her and my dad have been and enjoyed. We took photos of the beautiful sites, and then sat for dinner.
The old parts of the city are easily visited in one evening. The whole area is incredibly well preserved.
We made our way back home and called it an early night, as we were headed back to Valencia the next day to partake in the Formula 1 festivities and watch the race on Sunday.
