The beautiful coastal town of L'Escala on the Costa Brava is just 40 minutes drive from Girona Airpot which is served by Ryannair who provide low cost fares from many UK airports. This popular holiday resort was once a small fishing port. In summer the town becomes bustling but not at all rowdy. The absence of any high-rise buildings gives it a bright and friendly atmosphere. Its geographical position makes it an ideal base for exploring the wonderful coastline and coves, bays and pretty medieval towns and villages of the Costa Brava and for travelling further afield. Nearby Figueres was home to the famous Salvador Dali. To the south there is the wonderful medieval city of Girona, and the capital of Catalonia - Barcelona. To the west is the lake of Banyoles, duty free Andora and the snow-capped Pyrenees. L'Escala is also a wonderful base for golifing , snorkelling and diving, walking and bird watching and has beautiful safe and sandy beaches for swimming, windsurfing and sailing.
