golfing:
Golfers traveling to courses situated in the Baix and Alt Emporda countryside are exploring untouched territories. What they find is beautiful countryside, peace and tranquility, along with outstanding Catalan restaurants set inside ancient Masias (farmhouses). In the last decade the Costa Brava has become host to nine excellent golf courses (not a bad one amongst them) four of which are some of the best in Europe. Costa Brava golf courses are rapidly becoming known as Spain’s best golfing destination. Those closest include Pals, Peralada, Girona, Gualta and Emporda. The Costa Brava has a climate that’s perfect for golf. Along the coastline, the region usually enjoys year-round bright, sunny and mild weather with an average yearly temp of 16 degrees centigrade. It’s protected by the Pyrenees Mountains in the north and the warm Mediterranean to the east. A warm jet stream helps keep the region pleasantly bright and mild during the winter.
