France, Spain
Why not escape for the festive season and spend Christmas on the picturesque Costa Brava with its milder climate and sandy beaches? There’s plenty of time to relax and enjoy the festivities in our resort, as well as included excursions to the beautiful medieval towns of Besalú and Pals, along with the charming city of Girona – who says Christmas has to be freezing cold?!
