Where to swim
Costa Brava has many different types of beaches and landscapes with special lights, shapes and colours. Among my favourites are:
- Cala Sa Tuna
- Cala Aiguablava
- The beaches around Calella de Palafrugell.
Where to eat
My dreamy dinners happen on an outdoor terrace or garden surrounded by my loved ones.
- A special spot for a chilled snack & drinks I can recommend the Ultramar Beach Restaurant in Begur.
- Typical Mediterranean dishes along with seafood can be found pretty much anywhere on this coast. My personal pick would be La Blava Calella.
- In Calella de Palafrugell you will find many options with magical sea views.
Where to stay
Cadaqués and Calella de Palafrugell for picturesque white towns with unique surroundings. I usually stay in local hotels or Airbnbs. 
Where to have sunset drinks
Really can’t think of a better place other than the lighthouse bar in Cap de Creus
