Take a walk and enjoy breathtaking viewpoints, and relax on the most beautiful beaches. Curious about which stops you absolutely shouldn't miss during your motorhome-trip to the Costa Brava? Then keep reading!
Visit the fishing village of Cadaqués
Take the wheel of your motorhome and drive to our first stop: the fishing village of Cadaqués. This village on the coast of the Costa Brava is one of the most beautiful villages! Its seaside location, white houses, and the striking church Santa Maria de Cadaqués make Cadaqués a picturesque village. So, it's no wonder that various renowned artists, such as Dali and Picasso, used the village of Cadaqués and its surrounding nature as inspiration for their artworks.
Do you prefer exploring the surroundings of Cadaqués on foot? Park your motorhome at Parking SABA and lace up your hiking shoes for a stroll along the Cap de Creus Natural Park. From Cadaqués, you can walk along the stunning coast, stopping along the way to take in the breathtaking views! If you'd rather do something else besides hiking, there are plenty of options in Cadaqués as well. Grab your towel and relax on one of the beaches, such as Playa Grande or Playa es Sortell, located just 1.5 kilometers from the center. Or wander leisurely through the charming town center, where you'll find many boutiques, museums, and art galleries. To round off your day, take a seat at one of the many cozy terraces for a delicious tapa!

Relax in Cala Ferriol
On to our second stop! It's time for the hidden cove of Cala Ferriol. You'll find this cozy bay in the village of L'Escala. Far from the crowds and nestled among the rocks and pine trees, you can enjoy the sun and the clear blue water here. So, grab your beach bag and unwind in this delightful coastal town. Are you a fan of snorkeling? Don't forget to bring your gear because there's plenty to see on the seabed here! After a wonderful day at the beach, you can spend the night with your motorhome at motorhome stopover Autocaravaning La Granja.

The vibrant city of Girona
We leave the nature and coast behind and head to the bustling town of Girona. Girona is about an hour's drive from Cala Ferriol. Park your motorhome at Parking Vayreda Autocaravans where you can stay right in the city center and dive into the historic center. Girona is a city where you can wander for hours. Take a stroll through the charming historic Jewish quarter El Call and visit the famous Cathedral of Girona. Afterward, you can relax in one of the lively bars and restaurants of the city and indulge in the culinary delights that Girona has to offer! If you want to buy a nice souvenir to take home, you'll find plenty of charming boutiques and antique shops in Girona.
Tip: Take an evening walk, after sunset, along the Onyar River and admire the cozy, illuminated picturesque houses by the water.
