It's well known that Spain is a great place to live, and when you're particularly interested in the Costa Brava, in the north-east of the country, it's easy to imagine evenings by the beach, cocktails sipped on a terrace in the late afternoon, idleness and sublime houses nestled inland.
It looks like paradise in summer, but what about in winter? What's it like to live on the Costa Brava in winter? Where to go and what to do?
The Costa Brava climate in winter
The Costa Brava has a Mediterranean climate, which means long, hot summers and relatively mild winters. In winter, the average daytime temperature is estimated at 13°, dropping to 7° at night. January is the coldest month, with temperatures dropping to zero.
But the Costa Brava remains a wonderful place to relax and unwind, even in winter.
Of course, the activities are not the same, but there are other charms to discover.
How to spend the winter on the Costa Brava?
When the days start to shorten and the weather gets wetter and cooler, what can you do on the Costa Brava during these winter months?
Unlike in France, this Spanish region is always mild, and it's a great opportunity to get away from it all for a few days.
Of course, it's also an opportunity to get away from mass tourism, to avoid caravans, camper vans and beaches crowded with tourists, and to appreciate this sublime region for what it is.
Blend into the scenery, mingle with the locals and enjoy a different pace for those staying on the seafront.
For those who live inland, picturesque villages such as Cadaqués, Port Lligat, Empuriabrava, Calella de Palafrugell and Pals, hiking trails, museums and "caliente" bars await you.
Stay in a Spanish villa
Why not spend a few days in a Spanish villa? Better still, what if you were more and more tempted to buy a typical Costa Brava house?
It's during winter that you'll really get a feel for just how beautiful the region is, and whether you're capable of living in this little paradise.
