Start the spring season off extra cheerful with a wonderful stay at Van der Valk Hotel Barcarola. Enjoy the sun, the rising temperatures and the beautiful surroundings with plenty to do.

On the Costa Brava, there are several places worth visiting. Think for example of Barcelona, Girona and Platja d'Aro. Each place has its own attractions.

Barcelona

Barcelona is the bustling capital of Catalonia and there is a lot to see. For example, visit the Ramblas with its birds, flowers and the food market La Boqueria or see the holy family church: La Sagrada Familia. Also Montjuic, the hill in the city with the Olympic stadium, the "palacio real" and the magical fountains, is not to be missed.

Girona

Spring is also an excellent time to visit Girona. This city is located in the north of Spain and is close to the Pyrenees. Some of the impressive historical sites are the Roman ruins, the Arab baths, the small streets of the Jewish quarter and the beautiful Girona cathedral.

Platja d'Aro

North of the hotel you will find Platja d'Aro: a lively and fashionable seaside resort. There are many shops and you can stroll along the long promenade with its many terraces. The nightlife in Platja d'Aro is also very lively. The bars and discotheques are open until late at night.
