Living on the Costa Brava is a life-changing experience for those not used to living by the sea, and even for others.
In fact, owning a house or apartment on the coast of northern Spain allows you to enjoy a much more relaxed pace of life, and to benefit from a host of advantages not necessarily found elsewhere, and especially not in Europe.
First of all, when you live on the Costa Brava, you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Mediterranean Sea all year round, but what's more, thanks to the climate, you can swim 6 months of the year. Temperatures tend to rise very quickly in spring, only to drop again at the end of September or even October.
So imagine yourself swimming in the sea or lounging on the beach in April, or perfecting your tan in September.
As well as a great climate, living on the Costa Brava means a more relaxed way of life. In fact, people here are less stressed than in France, which is more than appreciable when you're used to the traffic and pace of Paris, for example.
It's not surprising, then, that the French community is very present here, especially as its proximity to the city of Barcelona is an added advantage. Indeed, it's one of Spain's most festive and cultural cities, and offers all kinds of activities for those looking for a change from the routine of the beach.
