Golf all year roundYou’re concentrating on your drive on the first hole of the round. Surrounded by pine trees, you breathe in the incomparable array of fragrances of the Medi-terranean woodland, you feel the warm rays of the sun, and in the distance you can hear the sound of the waves or even glimpse the blue horizon of this union between the earth and the sea known as the Costa Brava. If you close your eyes, you can relish a special sensation that no other place can offer you.

Golf Presentation 8

Costa Brava

While choosing the best position for teeing off, you think about the wide range of gastronomic options available to you later on in the day. You hit your drive, and as you watch the ball fly across the outline of the sun, you think how amazing it is that at any time of the year, with an aver-age temperature of 16.5 °C, it’s possible to enjoy such an exceptional spot where you’re brought into contact with nature through your passion for golf.

Ten courses, ten different itineraries set around an incomparable geographical region: playing golf on the Costa Brava means being part of a unique and sharply-contrasted landscape which has inspired the greatest geniuses.

Your enjoyment of the round is guaranteed, wher-ever you play –Club de Golf Costa Brava, Empordà Golf, Golf Girona, Golf Platja de Pals, Club de Golf Peralada, PGA Golf Catalunya, Torremirona Golf Club, Club Golf d’Aro-Mas Nou and Par 3 Gualta–, by the natural beauty of the cour-

ses and the intelligence of their designers, thanks to which the area won the IAGTO distinction as the best emerging golf destination in 2000. Getting a good score, is all down to you. But the biggest prize is already reserved for you: The Costa Brava, a divine space.

Pirineu de Girona

One of the curiosities of this territory, the north-eastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula, is its equidistance be-tween the Mediterranean and the Pyrenees. An hour’s drive takes you from the blue of the Mare Nostrum to the lush green grass at the foot of the great Pyrenean monoliths. This diversity is one of the defining charac-teristics of the Girona region, manifesting its special

personality: the union between sea and mountains, the meeting of water and stone, the marriage between snow and sand.

Fontanals Golf, Reial Club de Golf de Cerdanya and Club de Golf Camprodon create a dramatic setting for this challenging, thrilling sport.

Lovers of tradition will find their ideal golf course at Golf Platja de Pals. The British-style 18-hole par-73 course is the oldest on the Costa Brava. The concept and careful construction of the course have earned it a place on the Golf World ranking as one of the 100 best in Europe.

The round includes both wide-open and tree-flanked fairways, raised greens mostly defended by bunkers and by a modulated terrain that encourages the essence of the short game. The noble greens are spacious and straightforward, but with subtle drops

Golf 52Culture

Culture

Speaking of culture in the Costa Brava and the Pirineu de Girona means going back to the dawn of civilisation. Starting our journey in the very earliest of times, we find megalithic monuments in the Albera and the Gavarres hills, prehistoric caves in Serinyà, the ancient Iberian settle-ment of Ullastret, and Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque and Modernist buildings in all of the itineraries. Our coast was visited and inhabited, especially for commercial pur-poses, by the Greeks, Carthaginians and Romans, who not only left their imprint here but built towns like Empú-ries, where today we can follow the footsteps of those ancient visitors. From the Middle Ages we have excep-tional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant

Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture.

In recent years, through the eyes of artists, espe-cially the masterly Salvador Dalí, we have discovered a new vision of our surroundings, both cultural and scenic, portrayed in priceless creations. Today, the Dalí Triangle, consisting of the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, the Gala Dalí Castle-Museum in Púbol and the Dalí House-Museum in Portlligat, allows us to take this almost metaphysical journey through a world of tormented nature and idyllic, unique settings.

Apart from the Dalí spaces, there are over 55 mu-seums and 550 historic buildings to admire.

From the Middle Ages we have exceptional works of architecture like the monasteries of Sant Pere de Rodes and Ripoll, whose stones speak to us of a thousand years of life and culture.

Golf 54Cuisine

Cuisine

Defining what is or isn’t culture is a virtually impossible task. The relationship between culture and cuisine is almost innate, to the point that Salvador Dalí once said, “Art will either be edible or it will not exist”. The cultural side that cuisine represents in our society is experiencing a veritable renaissance, with such notable innovators as Ferran Adrià, among others. Even so, our gastronomy is multiple and varied, and is based on an honest, home-

style cooking that is very closely linked to traditional roots. If we spoke in the previous section about culture that can be seen, our cui-sine might be viewed as a culture that can be experienced and enjoyed. Its high professional standards mean that behind every restaurant door you will find an excellent culinary experience, with first-class establishments on the international scale.

Each restaurant offers an excellent dining experience.
