With the arrival of the summer, the temperatures rise and the streets get hot and busy. We love outdoor life, but sometimes, it's good to escape to the heavens and enjoy a cold drink far from the bustling city. Seeking out small oases (not appropriate in this case for people with vertigo), you can contemplate the city and surrounding areas without a care in the world. These are some of our favourite sky-high terraces in Girona and the Costa Brava.
Another hotel? Yes. But there's no way that we couldn't have included El Far. Why? Because it's located on the top of a cliff in Sant Sebastià de la Guarda and is surrounded by coves. To get to the terrace you don't need to be staying in the hotel, as it's actually part of the restaurant where you can savour a rice stew and a good plate of fresh shellfish from the fish market in Palamós. And enjoy the spectacular views, which include the beaches of Tamariu, Llafranc and Calella de Palafrugell. Sounds great, right? Well it's even better in the flesh.
