S'agaró travel information and video

S'Agaro

South east of Girona, roughly midway between Lloret de Mar and Begur, is the fabulous beach-side resort of S'Agaro.

Elegant S'Agaró sits alongside cosmopolitan Platja d'Aro, where a recognised circular route skirts the peaceful streets of the old town. Castell d'Aro is the historical centre, and has preserved all its medieval charm. 


The borough's three dynamic, attractive towns complement each other perfectly, and combine sport, culture, leisure and business in a natural setting, centred on the delightful seafront, with its impressive, endless beach and idyllic little bays.

The international airfield at Girona is approximately 40 minutes drive.

Leisure & recreation
The three neighbouring towns of Platja d'Aro, Castell d'Aro and S'Agaró offer an unrivalled holiday experience and perfect location: on the coast, yet situated close to the main transport routes, excellent selection of businesses and facilities, excellent shopping, variety of nightlife and gastronomy, and leisure and sports opportunities, to name just a few.

The resort offers all year round facilities, making it one of the main destinations of the Costa Brava, and one of the most popular of the whole of the Mediterranean.

The main town has many boutiques and makes a great shopping location. Nearby there are opportunities for hacking, hiking and running.

The main beach is a long stretch of beautiful sand and there are many further sandy coves and rocky areas to explore.
Equipment and tuition for a variety of water-sports can be hired; plus there are diving schools.

Excursions
Barcelona, Girona and the Pyrenees are all close enough for day trips, as is the incredible Dali museum.
A gentle run by car inland or along the coast will turn up many surprises as you enjoy medieval architecture and quaint villages, and discover old fishing ports and vibrant towns.

Cuisine
The gastronomy of Catalonia is rich and varied. Principally it is the typical Mediterranean diet of fish and seafood with fresh vegetables, olives and olive oil rice and pasta.

We recommend that visitors try some traditional Catalan dishes whilst on holiday, especially delicious are 

Escudella I Carn D'olla, vegetable broth with pork, veal and chicken. Pa Amb Tomàquet, 

simply rustic bread, can be toasted, rubbed with tomato pulp and dressed with oil and salt; these delcious breakfast can also be served with ham, sausage or tortilla.

Coca is a very thin dough baked with onions, peppers and other vegetables served with and meats, or fish (especially sardines).

Climate
Mild winter merges into blossoming spring which in turn gives way to a seemingly endless sunny summer the eventually yields to an autumn of mellow fruitfulness.
