Platja Daro: A Taste of Authentic Spain (1 Viewer)

[Simon Meadwell]

We had doubts about staying on the Cosra Brava kiss me quick hats and full english etc.
We couldn’t of been more wrong. We are at Platja Daro and its so Spanish it’s fabulous.
We went to Palamos for tapas as we were heading home 2200 the locals were just coming out to play.

Platja D'Aro is one of our favourite places. We usually stay in the Hotel Costa Brava, in a room with sea views. It's lovely falling to sleep with the sound of the sea.

Where did you park, please? I'd love to take our MH there.

We've been there a few times, as long as you keep away from the big tourist towns it's great. Not been there in a Moho we did go a couple of times on Harleys stayed on a campsite in a cabin. We're planning to return in January next year on our way to the south of Spain

True Spain we think. We are stsying at Camping Truemal about 2k from town centre. Booked last year, since been taken over by Cap Fun, the Dutch say they are ruining it already pitched loads if cabins where camping used to be. Fabulous site imo though, direct access to beach .
We plan to drive out MG down here in late summer one day if she will make it.
A few vans are street parked over night i have noticed.

Even the old commercialised resorts that attracted the brits in the 70s have had a facelift. Places like Blanes , which I stayed a way from for years, is worth a visit. Llafranc and the resorts next to it seem to have retained their fishing port characteristics and remain beautiful.

There are dogs all over the site

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Im wondering if the new owners dont allow dogs but have honoured old bookings. Certainly plenty of dogs on site.

First foregn holiday I ever had was with some friends and we rented an apartment just yards from the beach. Fabulous place.

The website has no mention Cap Fun. Their privacy policy mentions SERVARAN SL. The are a couple of places across the website where it definitely says no dogs.

Strange i will send a photo off dogs on site

 

[Simon Meadwell]

Not the best picture but on the road behind the car dog on site.

 

[Richard n Ann]

Stayed at the aire there a few times the mayor closes it in summer to boost camp site profits but everyone parks on the road along side it

Maybe they changed their policy. I hope so because it means we could stay there

Big shout-out to the OP - Platja d'Aro and a host of coastal towns along that stretch between Mataro and up as far as Empuriabrava are largely local tourism and well worth a visit - the best kept secret of the Costa Brava!

I'm local to that area and recommend Blanes - though it can be hard to park there - and St. Pol de Mar, Calella, Pineda and Santa Suzanna.

The beaches are not so much sand as more fine grained gravel and they shelve away very fast (mind the kids) with big waves on a windier day, but this area isn't so crowded as bigger name places and has plenty of amenities when you know where to look for them.
