Costa Brava coves

Back in 1927, Josep Ensesa and architect Rafael Masó shaped S’Agaró’s coastal style, an early blueprint for the whitewashed elegance that spread along the Costa Brava. Less than 50 km from Girona, granite headlands carve out translucent coves linked by camins de ronda, 19th‑century patrol paths. Cap Roig’s gardens, begun in 1927 by Woevodsky and Dorothy Webster, mix Aleppo pines with Mexican cacti and frame the Formigues islets—site, so lore says, of a shattered Genoese fleet in 1285. The draw here is contrasts: quiet inlets, bright villages, and a cuisine laser‑focused on the sea.

Collected from your hotel in Girona, you have a driver at your disposal all day—handling timings, access, and bookings while you swim, stroll, or sit down to lunch. The plan flexes: Llafranc and its Sant Sebastià lighthouse lie 15 minutes from Calella de Palafrugell; Begur sits 10 minutes further; Aiguablava and Sa Tuna are a 20‑minute hop apart if you dodge GI‑653 at delivery hours. With Costa Brava know‑how, your private chauffeur finds discreet parking above the coves and the quieter coastal paths. You enjoy the scenery; they drive, wait, and adjust to light and swell.
