From the US to the Mediterranean
Tell us how you like to travel
EnquireForget the tick lists and tour buses, the crowded viewpoints and the restaurants with menus in six languages. The Costa Brava you’ve seen in photos is beautiful, but the one worth crossing an ocean for is a local secret. It’s a long lunch under the olive trees that turns into dinner. It’s picking wildflowers for the table, walking the old Camí de Ronda path from one beach cove to the next, or shaping clay in a local potter’s studio. We don’t hand you an itinerary. We plan a holiday around who you are and how you want to feel, and we open the doors that are usually closed to visitors. Come and live here for a while.
No racing between sights or watching the clock. Just room to breathe, wander and say yes when a long lunch turns into an evening. We encourage embracing a slower pace of life, to feel fully present in each moment.
Tell us how you like to spend a perfect day, and we’ll build everything around it. That might be an early morning cycle, or nothing more than a good book in the best spot with a sea view. No two trips we plan look the same.
The practical side
Your local connection
Hi, I’m Amanda. After years spent exploring every stretch of the Wild Coast, what started as a personal passion project — sharing beach finds, hidden trails, and favorite restaurants — became a way to connect people with this place I love.
When you’re planning a trip from the other side of the Atlantic, it helps to have someone who knows the coast beyond the guidebooks. The little villages worth a detour. The beach you’ll want to come back to. The places that make a vacation feel like your own.

Start a conversationBefore you cross the Atlantic
Barcelona–El Prat (BCN) is the most practical starting point for many US travelers. From there, head north to the Costa Brava. Allow roughly 1½–2 hours by car to towns such as Begur or Calella de Palafrugell, depending on traffic. Flight routes and schedules vary, so check options from your departure city.
Late spring and early fall are lovely for coastal walks, village exploring, and a quieter pace. July and August bring the liveliest beach season, along with more visitors. The Costa Brava can be a year-round destination; which works for you depends on your activity preferences.
A car gives you the freedom to reach smaller coves and inland villages. You can enjoy a stay in one coastal town without one, but public transport between the smaller places can be limited. It depends on how much exploring you want to do.
A week gives you time to settle into the coast rather than rush through it. With ten days or more, you could add a few nights in Barcelona or explore more of the Empordà. Leave some room for the days when a swim and a long lunch are all you want.
English is commonly spoken in places that welcome international visitors, though not everywhere. Catalan and Spanish are the local languages. A few greetings go a long way, and a translation app is handy for menus and smaller village stops. And if no English is spoken — not to worry. That means you are experiencing the true Costa Brava.
