Join the celebrities in Sant Martí d’Empúries

It’s more than 30 years since I first discovered my resort near Girona in the Costa Brava, but I still get tingles of excitement each time I return. I wonder if the celebrities who made a surprise appearance for a wedding there last week will feel the same.

Living in the Spanish countryside

With a population of around 46.4 million and an area almost twice the size of Great Britain, Spain really does feel less crowded. However, most of the population is concentrated on the Costas and in major cities, leaving much of the rural interior almost uninhabited. Country houses and fincas within easy reach of the sea and large towns are always sought after and can command high prices. Smaller properties in villages will be much cheaper as will urbanisation’s in the hills behind coastal towns.
