It is nicknamed the 'wild coast' there is approximately 135 miles of mainly pine clad coastline with some fine sandy bays. Although it has been in use by British holiday makers since the 1960's the northern end still retains much of it's original charm. The main airport lies 9 miles south west of the town of Gerona. Sunny with steep cliffs and rocky coves, hosting a wide array of water sports. There are also some marvellous Roman ruins and peaceful fishing villages if it's restful seclusion that you want. Local Food Excellent food at reasonable prices make this one of the best tourist areas in Spain for a great holiday. The local beers are as good as you'll find anywhere in the world, and the variety of food on offer is excellent ranging from fast food to international cuisine to Tapas bars and Catalonian cuisine. Catalonian food specialises in fresh ingredients from the sea. Why not try 'Sarsuela' a spicey stew or some sea food 'Paella'. For something sweet, there is 'Crema' a dish similar to creme caramel. It was here that the British were introduced to 'Sangria', a refreshing drink made from lemonade, wine, brandy and fruit. Dining out is very much part of the nightlife here, with meals stretching in to the evening in true Mediterranean style.
