Tell me about Costa Brava/Dorada

[Stokey]

Looking for a villa for a week in August. we're going to France for a week after so it has to be that region of Spain - i know the south very well but not too familiar with the north.

Lots advertised in a place called Calonge - does anyone know what it is like? Or can you recommend other places?

Two families going so we want don't really want to be somewhere too urban, we'll probably have lunch out & hang out at home in the evenings so don't need to be near restuarants.

I went to lafranc last year and loved it. Only a small place, lovely beach and nice restaurants. We were happy on the beach and eating out in the restaurants and touring around a bit. Lots of hiking and boat trips. Lots to see around the place but a car was needed. Was able to walk easily into a town called Calella ( something like that).

Went into tossa de mar and happy not there, but fine for a visit. Not sure about your area, but hope this helps.

I really like Llfranc and Callela as well. But we have only been in October, I imagine it must get busy in August.

Begur is a lovely town on the Costa Brava. Not too far from the French border. There are lots of gorgeous places to stay. Have a look at Sa Tuna, Aigua Blava, Tamariu, Sa Riera, Aigua Freida all along the coast. All wonderful. I wish I was going back.
