Mediterranean escape
COSTA BRAVA
This emblematic coastal region, which stretches from Blanes to Portbou in north-eastern Catalonia, Spain, is full of natural treasures. Its name means ‘abrute coast’ in Catalan, in reference to its rocky coastline. Forested mountains meet turquoise coves to create a spectacular and colourful landscape. The coast is dotted with small coves, ideal for swimming or simply relaxing.
The authentic, picturesque villages along the coast, with their white houses and cobbled streets, add to the region’s Mediterranean charm.
As the birthplace of Salvador Dali, the Costa Brava boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage. In particular, you can discover a series of medieval castles dating from the time when the Girona region was a frontier between the Arab and Christian worlds.
In this 44th edition, we’ll have the pleasure of taking advantage of this idyllic setting by heading to Lloret de Mar.
LLORET DE MAR
Situated to the south of the famous Costa Brava, Lloret de Mar is the ideal destination for a good time. This jewel of the Mediterranean coast is renowned for its magnificent beaches, crystal clear waters and festive atmosphere. Day or night, there’s something for everyone!
Between land and sea, the city offers a wide range of possibilities. You can enjoy a wide range of water sports such as jet skiing, diving and sailing, as well as walking, exploring the various trails that run along the coast or through the forest.
You won’t have any trouble finding a bar or restaurant where you can relax with a drink or a good meal – the culinary offer is very wide and varied!
PALAFRUGELL
Although most of the sporting events will be held in Lloret de Mar, we will also be using the facilities in Palafrugell for some of the athletics events, so it’s a good opportunity to visit the area!
Located 45 minutes from the centre of the Games, the town boasts an exceptional natural setting.
Come and discover this charming city and enjoy its magnificent beaches and coves, its typical Catalan cuisine and its cultural and historical heritage. The centre of Palafrugell, which is full of cultural and commercial activities, is completely pedestrianised, so you can stroll around at your leisure.
