Simply amazing. A beautiful house in a perfect location with the house itself as if Dalí left only yesterday. Good value too. A must.

Don’t miss this place! Make sure to take the hike down towards the water. Very cool volcanic rocks to see! Leave a rock cairn before you go!

This garden is well laid out and the map provided enables you to plan your route which is essential if the Festival is on and several routes are blocked due to the staging. There are steps so taking a stroller is tricky but possible. The cacti are impressive and the views equally so! It costs 8€ for adults and 3€ for pensioners. Children have free entry. Sunscreen and a hat are useful!

Cadaqués is a lovely village with narrow cobblestone streets and a lovely church with very beautiful ornaments. Dali used to visit here a lot, a many other artists. It is not far from Port Lligat where we visited The residence of Dali.

This is our favourite beach in the area. The sand is pure soft sand and the sea shelves very gradually making it ideal for young children. If you use the right side of the rocks (by the pedallos) the sea is much clearer. You can swim out quite far and still stand as it’s shallow for quite a way. There are activities available such as kayaking and our children have always enjoyed searching for crabs and fish amongst the rock pools. The cafes and bars are great and not too pricey. Only problem would be parking in the area but we have found a great little spot that charges €3 for the whole day which is to the right side behind some of the apartments and hotels.

You definitely need good shoes ours was a family pilgrimage to honour my father in law who lived in L’Escala for the last 40 years. Castle d Montgrí is an iconic landmark seen from miles around . We climbed on a beautiful January day blue skies and sunshine, without my sons help I would not have made it it’s a steep rocky climb and coming down I turned my ankle a bit still sore now .However young families hikers and people older than me were up the top too very pleased to have achieved it amazing views don’t do the battlements if you suffer from vertigo though just love the Costa Brava Catalan xxx

We did this on the morning of our free day in Roses. It was two hours very well spent and gave us an appetite for lunch. You cannot physically miss the citadel as its has an almost complete surrounding wall and is on the main road into the modern town. Entrance is a very reasonable 4 Euros with reduction for seniors. First you get a small well set out museum detailing the various phases of occupation and then you go out into the old settlement. The laminated guide sheet, which is available in several languages, is clear and informative and you can easily self guide to get insights into how the first town developed. Interesting and instructive.
