Costa Brava in December
Around 10.5 °C by day, sea 15.4 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 1 of 5.
December on the Costa Brava is 10.5 °C by day and 15.4 °C in the sea. Load is 1 out of 5: the shore is empty.
December splits the coast in two, and no other split matters more. Girona, half an hour inland, runs like an ordinary city: 108,352 residents, a university, a hospital 10 minutes away, a winter score of 5 out of 5. The coastal resort towns stand half shut. Many people solve it by living in Girona and driving to the sea — thirty-five kilometres to Blanes, about half an hour.
