Roadtrip to Costa Brava
with our VW Kombi campervan
Costa Brava is the most popular destination by far. This version is for 3 to 6 days and to mak it for diverse, we are proposing to back to Barcelona through the medieval villages of cataluña.
Cala Estreta beach
We head north to discover the famous Costa Brava with its white villages and small beaches. This area is very touristy, especially in summer. You can find less crowded beaches, the trick being that you have to wak to get there. Located less than 10 kilometers from Palamos, Cala Estreta is one of the most beautiful beach on the Costa Brava. It has a car park (Sometimes you hav to pay for it sometimes not) that leaves you a 20-minute walk away from it.
Bring food (there is no beach bar) and a mask to practice snorkeling. Arrive early.
​
To spend the night, you can go to a campingcar area
(Autocaravaning Palamós SL) very close and with all services
(€20/night). From the third floor you can see the sea.

Wake up to see the sunrise.
Cadaqués
After a good breakfast, we go to Cadaques, the most eastern town of the Iberian Peninsula, perfect for enjoy its hidden beaches and its delicious gastronomy. Its walk is one of the most beautiful one on the coast with its peculiar landscape of white houses. To eat we recommend Xiringuito de la Mei with great value for money.
Visit Dali's house. Book your tickets in advance!!
For the second night, we arrived at Cala Pelosa (40 minutes from Cadaques). If you get lucky, you can park with views of the sea and the beaches, amazing!
The third day leads you to Garrotxa (2H15). We enjoy the last day at the beach and head towards this natural park and old volcanic area. We stop in the medieval town of Besalú where you can spend the night in a motorhome zone (Àrea Autocaravanes Besalú).
