Camping El Delfín Verde

Several beaches are within 10 minutes’ drive, but you can walk to Fonollera in minutes. Its waves are safe for kids to paddle and swim, and there’s plenty of room to doze in the sun. You can also rent windsurfers, take a sailing lesson, or zoom along the coastline on a jetski. If you’re a keen golfer, take advantage of discounted green fees at Empordà Golf Club (10 minutes’ drive), and there are horse-riding stables minutes away in the Catalan hills. Up the cultural mix with a trip to the elegant Costa Brava town of Figueres (45 minutes), to dip into museums dedicated to eccentric artist Salvador Dalí. You can also pick up his madcap designs in souvenir shops along the Rambla street and cruise the tapas bars for tasty snacks.
